fix(ci): codeql-action v4.38.1 -> v4.38.0 SHA pin + dependabot hold (estate-wide startup_failure) - #71
Conversation
v4.38.1 (tag AND commit SHA 1c5b675) fails GitHub workflow-startup validation estate-wide (startup_failure, zero jobs). Investigation: nexia-list#100. Rollback to v4.38.0 commit b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63; actions.lock re-keyed where present; dependabot held unconditionally. Canonical: standards#973.

Use one ignore mapping for all GitHub Actions exclusions.
The mapping already defines ignore at Line 16. The added ignore at Line 27 creates a duplicate YAML key. Dependabot can reject this configuration, or a parser can retain only the later key and drop the ruby/setup-ruby and actions/jekyll-build-pages exclusions. Add github/codeql-action to the existing ignore sequence.
Proposed fix
ignore:
- dependency-name: "ruby/setup-ruby"
- dependency-name: "actions/jekyll-build-pages"
+ - dependency-name: "github/codeql-action"
- ignore:
- # HOLD: github/codeql-action at v4.38.0 (SHA-pinned). v4.38.1 fails
- # GitHub workflow-startup validation estate-wide (nexia-list#100;
- # SHA-form re-bump bypassed versions-scoped ignores - nexia-list#101).
- # Hold until upstream clears 4.38.1 or a new release verifies green.
- - dependency-name: "github/codeql-action"🧰 Tools
