Using renovate to update TYPO3 installations minor/patches only - automation

Question

I have been experimenting with Renovate and would like to use it to auto update TYPO3 to the latest version. v10.4.x - where Renovate should only create MR's whenever the is an update available for the 'X' part.
I am using the following configuration:
config.js
module.exports = {
endpoint: 'https://gitlab.companyname/api/v4/',
token: '**gitlab_token**',
platform: 'gitlab',
baseBranches: ["master"],
assignees: ["Me"],
enabledManagers: "composer",
onboardingConfig: {
extends: ['config:base'],
},
repositories: [
{
repository: 'CMS/sitetemplate',
},
],
};
renovate.json in the project CMS/sitetemplate
{
"$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
"extends": [
"config:base",
":disableDependencyDashboard",
":separatePatchReleases"
],
"prHourlyLimit": 0,
"prConcurrentLimit": 0,
"baseBranches": [
"master"
],
"enabledManagers": [
"composer"
],
"commitMessagePrefix": "[TASK] ",
"commitMessageTopic": "{{depName}}",
"commitMessageExtra": " ({{{displayFrom}}} => {{{displayTo}}})",
"rangeStrategy": "update-lockfile",
"packageRules": [
{
"matchUpdateTypes": [
"patch"
],
"matchPackagePrefixes": [
"typo3/cms-"
],
"excludePackageNames": [
"typo3/cms-cli",
"typo3/cms-composer-installers"
],
"groupName": "TYPO3 CMS",
"labels": [
"typo3"
]
},
{
"matchUpdateTypes": [
"minor",
"pin",
"digest",
"major"
],
"enabled": false
}
]
}
.gitlab-ci.yaml
Update Web Project:
rules:
- if: $RENOVATE_APPLICATION_TOKEN
when: never
- if: $RENOVATE_WEB_TOKEN
when: manual
variables:
RENOVATE_TOKEN: $RENOVATE_WEB_TOKEN
script:
- renovate $RENOVATE_EXTRA_FLAGS
when: manual
I have played around with the config a bit and it will create MR's, issues etc when i have other settings. So its working. However with the current configuration it does not create a PR.
The sitetemplate currently has TYPO3 V10.4.25 (in lock file) and i want it to create a PR so it will update all typo3/cms-* packages to the lastest TYPO3 V10.4.32
It should only update the lock file.
Currently when i run the CI i get no MR's and the following output
The CI output
PASTEBIN since it was to large
Anyone has any expirience with this, what configuration am i doing wrong?

Confirmed working:
At a quick glance I think you're missing a setting of separateMinorPatch=true. You could turn that on globally (if you want to separate patch updates from minor for all packages) or specifically for certain packages by using packageRules.
