ci: bump github/codeql-action/analyze from 4.37.3 to 4.37.6

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action/analyze from 4.37.3 to 4.37.6.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action/analyze's releases.

v4.37.6

• Changed the default filepath for the new remote file address format that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 / 3.37.0 to .github/codeql-config.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #4070

v4.37.5

• Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

v4.37.4

• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository property. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the value to toolcache to always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided for tools in the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts with !. #4037
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2. #4051

4.37.5 - 03 Aug 2026

• Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026

• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository property.

4.37.3 - 22 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026

• The new address format for the config-file input that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, the remote= prefix can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote file. All previous input formats continue to be accepted as well. #4023
• The CodeQL Action can now make use of configured private registries in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes out to everyone in July. #4007

4.37.1 - 16 Jul 2026

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.20.6 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 1 July 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.16, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #3956
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.1. #4019

4.37.0 - 08 Jul 2026

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.0. #3995
• In addition to the existing input format, the config-file input for the codeql-action/init step will soon support a new [owner/]repo[@ref][:path] format. All components except the repository name are optional. If omitted, owner defaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for, ref to main, and path to .github/codeql-action.yaml. Support for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will only be enabled over the coming weeks. #3973

4.36.3 - 01 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.36.2 - 04 Jun 2026

• Cache CodeQL CLI version information across Actions steps. #3943
• Reduce requests while waiting for analysis processing by using exponential backoff when polling SARIF processing status. #3937
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.6. #3948

Clean, correctly pinned bump — but merging it alone leaves CodeQL on mismatched versions and the Analyze job fails.

What stood out

• Provenance verified — 5595ccaf912efad79be6eef63a5619ff05969be3 is exactly the v4.37.6 tag on github/codeql-action, and the SHA-pinned convention is preserved.
• No analyze contract change — the v4.37.4–v4.37.6 changes are init-scoped (remote config path, bundle download fallback, tools repository property); upload: always remains valid.
• Intra-job version skew — init and autobuild stay at v4.37.3 while analyze moves to v4.37.6, and the action's version-consistency guard rejects that combination.

Top issues

• [F-001] Mixed codeql-action versions abort the Analyze job — .github/workflows/codeql.yml:48

Cross-cutting

• [F-001] codeql-action pins must move as one set (process) — three separate PRs bump init, autobuild and analyze; any partial landing leaves main mismatched.

Improvement opportunities

• [O-001] Group github/codeql-action bumps in dependabot.yml (Recommended) — .github/workflows/codeql.yml:48

[wbreza]

[F-001] Only analyze moves to v4.37.6 here — init (line 40) and autobuild (line 45) stay pinned at e4fba868fa4b1b91e1fdab776edc8cfbe6e9fb81 (v4.37.3). The CodeQL Action enforces version consistency across all github/codeql-action/* steps in a job, and the Analyze job on this PR fails at Perform CodeQL Analysis:

CODEQL_ACTION_VERSION: 4.37.3
##[error]Loaded a configuration file for version '4.37.3', but running version '4.37.6'

init and autobuild succeed; only the analyze step and its post-action fail, and recent Analyze runs on main pass — so the failure is introduced by this change, not pre-existing. Analysis aborts before SARIF upload, so upload: always on line 50 cannot preserve the scan results.

Landing this on its own puts main in the mismatched state for every push, pull request, and the weekly schedule until #604 (init) and #607 (autobuild) also land. Move all three pins to 5595ccaf912efad79be6eef63a5619ff05969be3 in one change, or hold this until the other two merge in the same batch.

[wbreza]

[F-002] All three github/codeql-action steps carry the same # v4 trailing comment, but after this change lines 40 and 45 are v4.37.3 while line 48 is v4.37.6. Other actions in this workflow record the patch level (actions/checkout … # v7.0.1, actions/setup-go … # v7.0.0), so codeql-action is the one place where a reader cannot see that the pins have drifted apart.

Suggested change

	uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@5595ccaf912efad79be6eef63a5619ff05969be3 # v4
	uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@5595ccaf912efad79be6eef63a5619ff05969be3 # v4.37.6

[wbreza]

[O-001] .github/dependabot.yml has no groups: entry for the github-actions ecosystem, so Dependabot files init, autobuild and analyze as three independent PRs (#604, #605, #607). Because CodeQL requires one version across the job, none of the three passes CI on its own and every codeql-action release reproduces this. Grouping them makes the bump atomic:

  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/" 
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
    commit-message:
      prefix: "ci"
    groups:
      codeql-action:
        patterns:
          - "github/codeql-action*"
