Update transitive dependencies without rebuilding of whole lock

I would like help with my configuration

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

37-full, gitea, python, poetry

Hello!

pyproject.toml of my service looks like:

# ...
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "~3.12"
my-web = "^4.7.0"
# ...

setup.py of my-web looks like:

# ...
setup(
    name='my-web',
    version='4.7.0',
    # ...
    python_requires='>=3.10',
    install_requires=[
        'my-helpers >=1.2,<2',
        # ...
    ],
)
# ...

I would like to update only specified dependencies. In order to achieve this, I use config like so:

{
  "//": "...",
  "packageRules": [
      {
        "matchPackagePatterns": [".*"],
        "excludePackageNames": ["my-web", "..."],
        "enabled": false
      }
  ],
  "//": "...",
}

It's working nice with direct dependencies.

But is there any way to update transitive one without rebuilding of whole lock with lockFileMaintenance? For example I made an update for my-helpers (dependency of my-web) and I want to update only it. Without Renovate it can be achieved with poetry update --lock --no-interaction my-helpers, but is it possible with Renovate?

Updating transitive dependencies "specifically" like you describe is not supported
