Hey there,
im trying to use the renovate-runner project hosted on https://gitlab.com/renovate-bot/renovate-runner to run renovate-bot on our self-hosted gitlab instance but we have problems with the github changelog retrieval.

We have tried the following varbles in CI/CD variables and in pipeline schedule variables:

• GITHUB_COM_TOKEN
• RENOVATE_GITHUB_COM_TOKEN
  These variables are only masked, nothing else.

No matter what we do, our MRs dont have any changelogs attached to them.

Below is your .gitlab-ci.yaml and our default.json:

.gitlab-ci.yaml:

include:
    - remote: https://gitlab.com/renovate-bot/renovate-runner/-/raw/v24.0.0/templates/renovate.gitlab-ci.yml
    - remote: https://gitlab.com/renovate-bot/renovate-runner/-/raw/v24.0.0/templates/renovate-config-validator.gitlab-ci.yml

variables:
  RENOVATE_EXTRA_FLAGS: "--autodiscover=true --autodiscover-filter=PLACEHOLDER/*"
  LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG
  RENOVATE_ONBOARDING_CONFIG: >
    {
      "extends": ["local>it/renovate-bot"]
    }
  RENOVATE_HOST_RULES: >
    [
      {
        "matchHost": "cr.company.com",
        "username": "${DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER}",
        "password": "${DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD}"
      },
      {
        "matchHost": "cr-dev.company.com",
        "username": "${DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER}",
        "password": "${DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD}"
      }
    ]

default.json:

{
  "schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "description": "Org-wide Renovate defaults",
  "extends": [
    "config:recommended",
    ":semanticCommits",
    ":disableDependencyDashboard"
  ]
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks ^^
