Great, thanks for tracking this down!
In a separate PR, can you write a similar regex to update the JDK 26 EA version? Not sure whether there is an available data source for it.
Note that #1473 currently fails - I haven't tracked down yet what changed in newer JDK 26 EA builds to break that check.

fixes #1500
This PR updates the Bazel documentation examples to support Bazel 9.0+ and configures Renovate to automatically track the CI Bazel version.
Supporting Bazel 9.0
Bazel 9.0 removed the native Java rules, requiring an explicit load of

Neither Dependabot nor Renovate tracks custom environment variables like
USE_BAZEL_VERSIONby default. However, Renovate offers a regexManager feature that supports tracking custom strings. This manager is now set to track theUSE_BAZEL_VERSIONenv var against bazelbuild/bazel releases.This renovate rule was used to successfully open an example PR here:
