chore(renovate): restrict vite to <8

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

Two example directories are set up with vite@7:

• examples/component-tests
• examples/wait-on-vite

Cypress Component Testing is not yet compatible with the latest version vite@8, see

• Support Vite 8 in component testing cypress#33078

The current configuration is:

github-action/examples/component-tests/package.json

Lines 16 to 22 in 783cb3f

	"devDependencies": {
	"@types/react": "^19.2.14",
	"@types/react-dom": "^19.2.3",
	"@vitejs/plugin-react": "^5.2.0",
	"cypress": "15.13.0",
	"vite": "^7.3.1"
	}

The latest version @vitejs/plugin-react@6 shows "vite": "^8.0.0" in peerDependencies, whereas the currently configured version @vitejs/plugin-react@5.2.0 is compatible with "vite": "^4.2.0 || ^5.0.0 || ^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0 || ^8.0.0"

Change

Modify the renovate.json configuration.

For compatibility with Cypress Component Testing, restrict vite to <8 and @vitejs/plugin-react to <6

Keep both example directories using the same vite version for comparability.

Verification

npx --yes --package renovate -- renovate-config-validator

Note

Low Risk
Config-only change that just limits dependency update ranges; no runtime code or production behavior is modified.

Overview
Adds Renovate packageRules to prevent major upgrades of Vite tooling by constraining vite to <8 and @vitejs/plugin-react to <6, keeping Renovate from opening PRs that would move the examples onto incompatible versions.

Presumably this an unintended configuration change. Last month, Renovate was still able to create PRs without being individually triggered by a maintainer.

• Despite the new feat: support vite 8 for component testing cypress#33580 PR to implement Vite 8 support in Component Testing, I suggest to merge this PR
• When the examples in this repo are able to be updated to Vite 8, then the Renovate limit for Vite could be bumped up to <9 to prevent the repo updating to this assumed future version prematurely
• There would then always be a guard in place to prevent incompatible updates from being proposed by Renovate
