fix(ci): codeql-action v4.38.1 -> v4.38.0 SHA pin + dependabot hold (estate-wide startup_failure) - #126
Merged
Conversation
v4.38.1 (tag AND commit SHA 1c5b675) fails GitHub workflow-startup validation estate-wide: codeql/hypatia runs die with startup_failure, zero jobs, no API error text. Full investigation: nexia-list#100. Rollback to the v4.38.0 commit b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63 (green on deed-ecosystem; satisfies repo SHA-pin policy). actions.lock re-keyed; dependabot held unconditionally (versions-scoped ignores were bypassed in SHA form - nexia-list#101). Canonical fix: hyperpolymath/standards#973.

Merge the duplicate ignore keys before merging.
Dependabot uses the later ignore list when duplicate ignore keys exist. This preserves the CodeQL hold but discards the existing ignores. Keep all entries in one list.
