The panel backend has 25 pytest tests that no workflow has ever run. Making
them run needs a throwaway virtualenv, and uv is what builds it in seconds
against the pinned requirements-dev.txt.
Installing it through install-ci-tools.sh rather than assuming it is on the
runner keeps the version in one place, where the other three tools already
live, and where the Renovate regex manager can move it.

Reloader has been running since 23 September and is what makes the
reloader.stakater.com/auto annotation on a pod template do anything, but the
repository only held a namespace. It was a release someone installed by hand,
so it was invisible to review, invisible to Renovate, and one reinstall away from
being silently dropped.
Declaring it in HELM_RELEASES pins the chart version somewhere Renovate can
update it, and the active marker means the namespace is applied before the
upgrade instead of only existing as a side effect of the original install.
The values file sets nothing the running release does not already do, apart from
resource requests and limits, which the chart leaves empty.
The config lived in renovate.json at the repo root while everything else
Renovate-related sat under renovate/, and renovate/config.js was a second,
unused source of truth. Both are gone: renovate/renovate.json is now the
only config file.
Because the CronJob in the cluster cannot read the repository, its
ConfigMap carries an inlined copy of the config. That copy is generated,
and sync-renovate-configmap.sh --check now fails the build when it drifts
from the source file.
The workflows also stop carrying a copy of the renovate/renovate image
tag. They read it from renovate/k8s/cronjob.yaml, so the version validated
in CI is the version that actually runs in the cluster.
ci.yaml validates the config with renovate-config-validator, checks the
generated ConfigMap, and kubeconforms the CronJob's own manifests.
