PR comments to modify a PR, including changes to renovate.json

[AArnott]

It's a pipe dream of mine. Renovate creates a PR that updates something, and I realize I didn't want that change (or part of it). I comment on the PR asking for renovate to stop updating this or that, or maybe restrict the update to a particular version range, etc.

Renovatebot then responds by updating the PR to not only accommodate the request, but to add a change to renovate.json to encode my request so that it sticks.

I review the updated PR and learn more about renovate.json syntax by looking at the bot's own change. The PR may or may not still have an actual version update. I complete the PR which now conforms to my requirements.

I no longer have to push many commits to my default branch to change renovate.json manually until I see that it has the intended effect on the original version updating PR, because I have confidence that the bot-generated change to renovate.json does what I asked, as I can see its effect applied to the PR itself.

Bonus points: if renovate implements this using AI, it can advertise itself as an AI-powered bot.

This is a more generic discussion I started long ago: #24911

I'll re-post this as a comment to your discussion then.
