Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: update renovate rules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- `schedule: ["every 2 weeks on Tuesday"]`: Renovate will only create/update branches every other Tuesday
- `rebaseWhen: "conflicted"`: only rebases when there are actual conflicts (not just when behind the base branch)
- Major vs minor/patch vs digest separation — three packageRules entries:
  - Minor/patch are grouped into a single PR  and automerged
  - Major and digest updates each get their own individual PRs with automerge disabled
