Summary

Estate-wide incident: github/codeql-action v4.38.1 fails GitHub workflow startup on every repo that took it — CodeQL/Hypatia runs die with startup_failure, zero jobs dispatched, no error text via the API. Full investigation + evidence chain: nexia-list#100.

Changes

  • codeql-action/* refs (tag @v4.38.1 or SHA 1c5b675…) re-pinned to the v4.38.0 commit b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63 (green on deed-ecosystem; satisfies SHA-pin policy).
  • actions.lock re-keyed where present (dependabot bumps uses: without regenerating the lock → governance linter failure).
  • dependabot.yml: full hold on github/codeql-action — scoped versions: ignores do NOT hold on this path (nexia-list#101 re-raised the bump in SHA form within an hour, copying the inline warning comment verbatim while swapping the SHA).

Canonical fix at the estate origin: standards#973. Batch-mates: nexia-list#100 (merged), hypatia#828, vexometer#90, rsr-template-repo#191, empty-linter#99, modshells#119, plasma-parser-writer#98, robodog-defensive-systems-lab#145, twingate-helm-deploy#138, wokelang#147, laniakea#91, maa-framework#198, methodologies#92, rpa-elysium#134, scripts#136, universal-chat-extractor#165, verisimdb#280. Lift the hold once upstream clears 4.38.1 or a canary verifies green.

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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated security scanning workflows to use a fixed, verified CodeQL action version.
    • Prevented automatic dependency updates for the affected CodeQL action until a newer validated release is available.

Walkthrough

The workflows now pin github/codeql-action to the v4.38.0 commit. Dependabot ignores updates to this action and records the v4.38.1 validation issue.

Changes

CodeQL action version hold

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pin CodeQL workflows and hold updates
.github/dependabot.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/hypatia-scan.yml, .github/workflows/scorecard-enforcer.yml
The CodeQL initialisation, analysis, and SARIF upload steps use commit b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63 for v4.38.0. Dependabot ignores github/codeql-action updates and documents the v4.38.1 hold.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 908db

CodeQL workflows are rolled back to the known-good pinned version, preventing the reported startup failures while updates remain on hold. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

A rabbit pins the action tight
At v4.38.0, workflows take flight
Dependabot waits by the gate
While validation checks the update state
SARIF hops along its way
