Renovate fails to update dependencies correctly

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

When Renovate attempts to update dependencies from package.json it regularly fails the CI workflow .github/workflows/check-dist.yml which runs

npm ci
npm run format
npm run build

and checks that there are no uncommitted changes.

Examples of failed Renovate PRs, attempting to update dependencies, are:

• fix(deps): update dependency debug to v4.3.7 #1250
• fix(deps): update dependency @octokit/core to v6 #1135
• fix(deps): update dependency @actions/cache to v3.2.4 #1124
• fix(deps): update dependency @actions/core to v1.10.1 #1034

Renovate is not re-formatting and re-building the app.

Suggestion

Renovate should either be reconfigured to correctly reformat and rebuild the action, or it should avoid attempts to update dependencies and restrict itself to devDependencies only.

This is a call to the Cypress.io team as the server-side of the Renovate configuration is not publicly accessible, so it makes more sense to have any adjustments to the Renovate configuration also handled internally.
