Greptile has reviewed none of the recent Renovate pull requests (#529-#534, #551, #555), while human pull requests get a review and a Greptile Review check. That came from a dashboard setting; this states the behaviour in the repository, where file settings override the dashboard.

.greptile/config.json:

  • excludeAuthors: ["renovate[bot]"] - the login Renovate's pull requests here are authored by. Brackets are literal in Greptile's globs, so it matches as written. CI alone decides these pull requests
  • autoReview: ["open", "push", "rebase"] - the default is only open, but the merge checklist in AGENTS.md requires the "Last reviewed commit" to be the head being merged and says to wait for the re-review after a push. rebase covers a force push that rewrites history, which is how branches here are updated
  • ignorePatterns: "uv.lock" - generated; reviewing it is noise

strictness and commentTypes stay at their defaults, and there is no rules.md: AGENTS.md is already what reviewers read.

AGENTS.md gets one line under "Before Merging" saying Renovate pull requests are deliberately not reviewed.

Greptile reads its config from the pull request's base branch, so this takes effect once it is on main, not on this pull request.

Greptile's behaviour was set only on the dashboard, which skipped
Renovate's pull requests silently. State it in the repository instead:
skip renovate[bot], re-review after every push including a rebase, as
the merge checklist in AGENTS.md assumes, and leave uv.lock out of the
diff it reads.
