Thanks for your thoughts Louis! I’ve thought it might somehow be chance, but the last thing I want is to lull myself into that complacency— I figure there must be something more going on.
I can’t recall any instance of fights or “drama” of any sort, or of missing major deadlines or any other big mistakes. I’m very tension-averse so I’m motivated to either amicably resolve an issue or let it slide if it isn’t worth the trouble.
Perhaps I should get in the habit of asking managers/colleagues for feedback before I find out I’m not getting renewed— maybe they’d be more willing then to share what mysterious issues I clearly must be having.

Framing feedback as “asking for advice” can often make people more comfortable with giving feedback as well
