Configure changelog sections so release PR creation/changelog entries include chore, docs, and refactor commits in addition to existing user-facing types. Keep style, test, build, and ci hidden to avoid internal-only release noise.
Remove unsupported changelogSections from .github/release-please.yml, which fails validation in the GitHub App workflow. Keep existing releaseType/handleGHRelease settings unchanged.
Switch .github/release-please.yml to manifest mode and add release-please-config.json plus .release-please-manifest.json for source-controlled release configuration/state. Configure changelog sections so chore/docs/refactor are releasable while style/test/build/ci remain hidden.
Configure Renovate to emit fix(deps) for npm runtime dependency updates so Release Please treats them as releasable by default. Keep devDependencies as chore(deps) to avoid release noise from development-only updates.
Set runtime npm dependency updates to use semantic commit type deps instead of fix. Keep devDependencies on chore(deps) to avoid release noise.

Today, release-please doesn't trigger a release for commits with
chore:commit type (code)We'd like to cut a release when updating dependencies that impacts the packaged artifact, so we'll instruct dependabot to use
fixcommit type instead ofchore(deps)it uses today.
