### Onboarding behavior

#### Installing Renovate into all repositories leads to silent mode

If an Organization installed Renovate with "All repositories" (instead of "Selected repositories"), then Renovate will default to "Silent" mode (`dryRun=lookup`).

We chose this behavior because:

Additionally, if an Organization is installed with "Selected repositories" then the app will change `onboardingNoDeps` to `true` so that an Onboarding PR is created even if no dependencies are detected.
