git-submodules digest updates carry no releaseTimestamp, and Renovate's default minimumReleaseAgeBehaviour (timestamp-required) treats that as never old enough, so the protocol submodule bump sat in "Pending Status Checks" forever and no PR was ever opened.

Renovate detects the
livekit-protocol/protocolsubmodule but has never opened a bump PR for it; every bump so far has been manual (#786, #780, #775, #763, #761). The Dependency Dashboard (#613) shows the update stuck under "Pending Status Checks".Cause: the repo-wide
"minimumReleaseAge": "2 weeks"also applies to thegit-submodulesmanager, but submodule digest updates carry no release timestamp. Renovate's defaultminimumReleaseAgeBehaviouristimestamp-required, so a digest with no timestamp is treated as never old enough and the branch is never created.This exempts the
git-submodulesmanager from the age gate; everything else keeps the 2-week wait.Verified with a local dry run (
