When renovating dependencies where version number is a timestamp without separators such as 2026051611221778930527 (e.g. 2026-05-16 11:22:17.78930527), the parseInt(val, 10) in tokenize for both gradle and loose versioning looses precision between May 16th and 17th, 2026.

Specifically: If current version is 2026051611221778930527, updates are correctly identified (and note the branch name)

{
  "depName": "***REDACTED***",
  "currentValue": "2026051611221778930527",
  "managerData": {

}

On the other hand, when the version is 2026051723231779060202 no updates are found:

{
  "depName": "***REDACTED***",
  "currentValue": "2026051723231779060202",
  "managerData": {
    "fileReplacePosition": 420,

  },
  "fileReplacePosition": 420,
  "datasource": "maven",
  "registryUrls": [
    "***REDACTED***/artifactory/all-maven-release/"
  ],
  "depType": "dependencies",
  "updates": [],
  "packageName": "***REDACTED***",
  "versioning": "gradle",
  "warnings": [],
  "registryUrl": "***REDACTED***/artifactory/all-maven-release",
  "packageScope": "***REDACTED***",
  "respectLatest": false,
  "currentVersion": "2026051723231779060202",
  "currentVersionTimestamp": "2026-05-18T11:31:54.000Z",
  "currentVersionAgeInDays": 10,
  "fixedVersion": "2026051723231779060202"
}

Sadly, I have no producer, as dependency in question is on a private registry.

Could you increase precision using BigInt for all versioning, or may create a new versioning scheme using BigInt for timestamps?

Will start by fixing it for gradle and loose versioning. Don't think all will need it.
