📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs CodeQL analysis on pushes and pull requests to main, and weekly on Sundays at 03:24 UTC. The workflow analyzes GitHub Actions and JavaScript/TypeScript with build mode none.

Changes

CodeQL Analysis

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and run CodeQL
.github/workflows/codeql.yml
Defines push, pull request, and weekly triggers. Configures a language matrix, checks out the repository, initializes CodeQL, and runs analysis. A conditional manual-build step exits with status 1 when the build mode is manual.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

The new analysis workflow retains its checkout credential after checkout. No actual misuse was established, but disabling persistence would reduce unnecessary credential exposure before merge.

Disable checkout credential persistence.

This analysis job does not need authenticated Git commands after checkout. actions/checkout@v7 persists credentials by default, so later steps, including Java/Kotlin autobuild, can use the job token. Set persist-credentials: false. In v7, the credential file is under $RUNNER_TEMP, not directly in .git/config. (github.com)

Proposed change
     - name: Checkout repository
       uses: actions/checkout@v7
+      with:
+        persist-credentials: false

Based on learnings: analysis-only workflows should disable checkout credential persistence.
