Renovate PR #32 (merged 2026-06-06 09:30) bumped getmeili/meilisearch
from v1.11.3 to v1.45.2 under the default-allow + 3-day stability rule.
Meilisearch's on-disk index format is NOT forward-compatible across
that range; wanderer-meilisearch went into CrashLoopBackOff with:
Error: Your database version (1.11.3) is incompatible with your
current engine version (1.45.2).
The PVC still holds the v1.11.x index, so the safest immediate recovery
is reverting the image tag. Wanderer's search starts working again the
moment the pod comes up on v1.11.3.
To prevent recurrence, add a packageRule that holds ALL meilisearch
updates behind the dashboard's "Pending Approval" checkbox via
`dependencyDashboardApproval: true`. PRs won't be opened until the
user explicitly approves them on the dashboard, so the version bump
can be planned around the documented dump/restore migration path
(https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/update_and_migration/updating).

Verified with the GitHub Releases API for Termix-SSH/Termix that the
actual `tag_name` field is `release-X.Y.Z-tag` (with a `-tag` suffix),
even though the release `name` is `release-X.Y.Z`. Renovate's
github-releases datasource keys off `tag_name`, so the regex versioning
correctly rejects all candidates as invalid:
INFO: Found no results from datasource that look like a version
(dependency=Termix-SSH/Termix)
The docker image at ghcr.io/lukegus/termix uses the short form
(`release-X.Y.Z`, no suffix), which is what the manifest also has.
Fix: add `extractVersionTemplate: ^(?<version>release-\d+\.\d+\.\d+)`
which Renovate applies to each candidate from the datasource BEFORE
the versioning regex sees it. tag_names `release-2.3.2-tag` become
`release-2.3.2`, the regex versioning parses them, comparison works,
and Renovate writes the short form back to the manifest -- which is
the correct tag at the ghcr.io registry.
(extractVersion is NOT applied to currentValue, but currentValue already
is in the short form, so no normalization needed there.)

Third attempt. Debug run confirmed `loose` + `extractVersion` STILL produces:
DEBUG: Dependency Termix-SSH/Termix has unsupported/unversioned value
release-1.11.0 (versioning=loose)
DEBUG: Skipping Termix-SSH/Termix because no currentDigest or pinDigests
`extractVersion` is only applied to CANDIDATE versions (from the datasource),
not to currentValue. Renovate's pre-validation runs the raw `release-1.11.0`
through `loose`, which can't parse it (the `release-` prefix breaks semver
detection), so Renovate falls back to digest-only and gives up.
`regex` versioning is the only mode that parses the prefixed value directly
(no extractVersion needed) — Renovate's regex.matches() accepts `release-1.11.0`
because the rule's pattern captures the whole tag. github-releases datasource
returns the upstream `release-X.Y.Z` tag_names which the same regex parses.
No conversion needed; the new tag written back to the manifest is the same
`release-X.Y.Z` form, valid in the ghcr.io/lukegus/termix registry.
Removes extractVersionTemplate (no longer needed).
