+### Which PRs does Renovate's `automerge: true` affect?
+
+The `automerge: true` setting in `.github/renovate.json` only applies to pull requests that Renovate opens. 
+In this repository's configuration, that means:
+
+- Renovate PRs created by the enabled managers: `pre-commit` and `github-actions`.
+- Subject to the schedule and timezone: only during "before 10am on tuesday" in the `Asia/Dubai` timezone.
+- Subject to repository rules: automerge will happen only when all required checks pass and branch protection rules allow merging.
+- With `automergeType: "pr"` and `platformAutomerge: true`, GitHub performs a native PR merge when eligible.
+
+What it does not affect:
+
+- Manually created pull requests or PRs opened by other tools/bots.
+- PRs created by this Sync Template action itself. Those are handled separately by the action's own auto-merge step using GitHub CLI (see section above).
