ci: bump github/codeql-action/init from 4.37.3 to 4.37.7

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action/init from 4.37.3 to 4.37.7.

Release notes

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

v4.37.7

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

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

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

SHA pin is authentic v4.37.7, but merging this alone leaves the codeql-action steps on mismatched versions and the Analyze job fails.

What stood out

• Pin is authentic — ff2f1c62 dereferences to the annotated tag v4.37.7 and e4fba868 to v4.37.3, so this is a genuine upgrade pointing at a real release commit.
• Workflow left on two versions — init moves to v4.37.7 while autobuild and analyze stay on v4.37.3; the CodeQL runner rejects the mismatch and fails the job.
• Security posture unchanged — every action stays SHA-pinned, permissions stay least-privilege, and there is no pull_request_target exposure. The upstream config-file default-path change does not apply, since this workflow passes no config-file and the repo has no CodeQL config file.

Top issues

• [F-001] codeql-action version skew fails the Analyze job — .github/workflows/codeql.yml:40

Cross-cutting

• [F-001] Sibling bumps need to land together (process) — #616 and #618 move autobuild and analyze to this same SHA; ungrouped dependabot config splits them into separate PRs.

[wbreza]

[F-001] Bumping init on its own puts this workflow on two different CodeQL Action versions, and the Analyze job fails as a direct result.

After this change codeql.yml reads:

• L40 init@ff2f1c62... -> v4.37.7
• L45 autobuild@e4fba868... -> v4.37.3
• L48 analyze@e4fba868... -> v4.37.3

init exports CODEQL_ACTION_VERSION: 4.37.7, and autobuild at 4.37.3 then refuses to load the configuration it wrote. The run on this head fails with:

##[warning]1 issue was detected with this workflow: Not all workflow steps that use `github/codeql-action` actions use the same version.
##[error]We were unable to automatically build your code. ... Loaded a configuration file for version '4.37.7', but running version '4.37.3'

The job ends in configuration error. The last five CodeQL runs on main are green, so this is introduced here rather than inherited.

The companion bumps already exist and target the identical SHA: #616 (autobuild) and #618 (analyze). Merge all three together instead of any one in isolation — merging a subset only relocates the mismatch to a different pair of steps.

To keep this from recurring, group the github/codeql-action/* updates in .github/dependabot.yml so the three sub-actions ship as a single PR.
