The runner environment does not have Node.js in PATH, causing
actions/checkout@v4 and renovatebot/github-action@v41.0.0 (both JS
actions) to fail at startup.

Use renovate/renovate:latest as the job container and invoke the
renovate binary directly via run:, consistent with how all other
workflows in this repo handle checkout and tooling. The Checkout step
was also unnecessary — Renovate manages its own git operations.

Automated PR Review (qwen3-coder-next via liteLLM):\n\nSummary
The PR replaces a JS-based Renovate GitHub Action with direct invocation of the official Renovate container image. The updated workflow runs Renovate directly inside a container without requiring Node.js setup or JS-based actions, improving simplicity and maintainability. No issues affecting correctness, security, or functionality were identified.

Findings

[SUGGESTION] .gitea/workflows/renovate.yaml:17 - Using renovate/renovate:latest may lead to unpredictable behavior due to lack of pinning.
Evidence: image: renovate/renovate:latest
Fix: Pin to a specific tag (e.g., renovate/renovate:39.188.3) for reproducibility and stability.

Verdict: APPROVE WITH COMMENTS
