 If newer, it pushes a **static branch name** (e.g. `chore/template-update`) with an `--allow-empty` commit and opens a PR whose body contains the version delta, release-notes/compare links, and step-by-step instructions an agent can execute. Hard-won details to keep if reimplementing: an explicit `permissions: contents: write, pull-requests: write` block (default token can't open PRs), a static branch name (dated branches caused duplicate PRs), and comparing **tag versions, not commit SHAs**.
 
+## Dependency Updates: Who Owns What
+
+Two Renovate instances run, with a deliberate boundary so they never fight:
+
+- **The template's Renovate** (in the template repo) keeps the pins in `template/package.json.jinja` fresh via a custom regex manager, and **auto-merges `@gallopsystems/agent-skills`** — which release-please then cuts as a template release. Those bumps reach descendants through `copier update`.
+- **Each descendant's Renovate** (shipped as `renovate.json`, gated on the `include_renovate` question) owns that repo's **own** app dependencies — the only place an upgrade can be tested against the real app's code and CI.
+
+The one overlap is resolved by ownership: the descendant's `renovate.json` **disables `@gallopsystems/agent-skills`**, leaving it solely template-owned. Every other pin is the descendant's. Because the template keeps bumping all pins, a descendant's `package.json` arrives with version conflicts on `copier update` — resolve them by keeping the descendant's versions (see [applying-updates.md](applying-updates.md) → *`package.json` dependency pins*). Newly-scaffolded repos start on the template's pins and are freshened by their own Renovate within a day.
+
 ## Branch Protection in Descendants
 
 A template **cannot** enable branch protection for the repos it generates — GitHub reads required status checks from repo config, never from committed workflow files. So every descendant starts with nothing gating merges until someone sets it once (after the first CI run, so the check is known). This template's CI exposes a **`ci-success`** summary job to be exactly that gate — require it on `main`:

+**`package.json` dependency pins — keep *this repo's* versions, not the template's.** The template's Renovate bumps every pin in `package.json.jinja`, so each release moves those lines and they arrive here as conflicts. But a descendant runs its **own** Renovate, which keeps its deps ahead of — and CI-tested against — the template's pins, so the template side is almost always *behind*. Resolve each dependency-version conflict by **keeping ours**, with two exceptions:
+
+- **`@gallopsystems/agent-skills`** is template-owned (the descendant's `renovate.json` is configured to ignore it, so the template is its only updater). Always **take theirs** for that line.
+- If the template's pin is genuinely *higher* than ours (this repo lagged — Renovate paused, or a dep Renovate doesn't manage), taking theirs is fine **only when it's an obviously-safe move** — a patch within the same minor. For a minor/major where ours is behind, keep ours and let this repo's Renovate make the jump afterward rather than adopting the template's pin blind.
+
+A *new* dependency the template adds is not a conflict (the descendant doesn't have it yet) — copier just adds it; keep it. This rule is only about shared pins. The split is deliberate: the template owns `agent-skills`, each descendant owns its own app dependencies.
+
 **Scaffold files arrive written against the TEMPLATE's schema — adopt the feature, adapt it to yours; never a naive side-pick.** Files like preview-login, factories, seeds, and `auth.d.ts` ship assuming the template's columns (`first_name`/`last_name`, `deactivated_at`, numeric `id`). A descendant that diverged (a single `name` column, camelCase, string IDs) won't compile against them. Take the template's *feature* but rewrite it to the real schema: revert `Number(id)` coercions, fix the anchor-user/seed columns, drop selects on columns that don't exist, repair the matching test. After adopting any such file, grep it against the real `db.d.ts`:
