chore(deps): bump github/codeql-action from 4 to 4.37.4

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action from 4 to 4.37.4.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action's releases.

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

v4.37.3

No user facing changes.

v4.37.2

• 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

v4.37.1

• 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

v4.37.0

• 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

v4.36.3

No user facing changes.

v4.36.2

• Cache CodeQL CLI version information across Actions steps. #3943
• Reduce requests while waiting for analysis processing by using exponential backoff when polling SARIF processing status. #3937
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.6. #3948

v4.36.1

No user facing changes.

v4.36.0

• Breaking change: Bump the minimum required CodeQL bundle version to 2.19.4. #3894
• Add support for SHA-256 Git object IDs. #3893
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.5. #3926

v4.35.5

• We have improved how the JavaScript bundles for the CodeQL Action are generated to avoid duplication across bundles and reduce the size of the repository by around 70%. This should have no effect on the runtime behaviour of the CodeQL Action. #3899
• For performance and accuracy reasons, improved incremental analysis will now only be enabled on a pull request when diff-informed analysis is also enabled for that run. If diff-informed analysis is unavailable (for example, because the PR diff ranges could not be computed), the action will fall back to a full analysis. #3791
• If multiple inputs are provided for the GitHub-internal analysis-kinds input, only code-scanning will be enabled. The analysis-kinds input is experimental, for GitHub-internal use only, and may change without notice at any time. #3892
• Added an experimental change which, when running a Code Scanning analysis for a PR with improved incremental analysis enabled, prefers CodeQL CLI versions that have a cached overlay-base database for the configured languages. This speeds up analysis for a repository when there is not yet a cached overlay-base database for the latest CLI version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in May. #3880

v4.35.4

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.4. #3881

v4.35.3

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.19.3 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 9 April 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.15, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #3837
• Configurations for private registries that use Cloudsmith or GCP OIDC are now accepted. #3850
• Best-effort connection tests for private registries now use GET requests instead of HEAD for better compatibility with various registry implementations. For NuGet feeds, the test is now always performed against the service index. #3853
• Fixed a bug where two diagnostics produced within the same millisecond could overwrite each other on disk, causing one of them to be lost. #3852
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.3. #3865

Keep CodeQL on the moving major tag

This workflow identifies itself as an advanced CodeQL setup, and the CodeQL Action docs recommend using the moving major tag (for example, v4) so scans automatically pick up new action fixes, features, and CodeQL CLI/query bundles; pinning init to v4.37.4 freezes the scanner until another Dependabot PR is merged. In repos where weekly scheduled scans are expected to stay current even without dependency PR churn, this leaves security analysis running stale bits, and the same pinning should be reverted to @v4 for the CodeQL steps. See GitHub’s guidance: https://github.com/github/codeql-action#keeping-the-codeql-action-up-to-date-in-advanced-setups

🤖 pr-fix routine: blocked on a protected file path

A reviewer's feedback requires modifying .github/workflows/codeql.yml, which is a protected Claude Code settings/hooks/agents/workflows file. Autonomous routines cannot edit these because they execute arbitrary code and require human approval. Please address this comment manually, then remove the pr-fix-stuck label to allow the routine to handle remaining feedback (if any).

Context for whoever picks this up:

• Review comment: chatgpt-codex-connector on .github/workflows/codeql.yml:37 (P2, unresolved)
• The gist: Codex argues this Dependabot bump is counterproductive — pinning github/codeql-action from the moving major tag v4 to the exact v4.37.4 freezes the scanner (action fixes, CodeQL CLI, and query bundles) until the next Dependabot PR lands. GitHub's advanced-setup guidance recommends staying on @v4.
• That means the likely resolution is closing this PR (and possibly adding a Dependabot ignore rule for github/codeql-action major-tag pins) rather than editing the workflow — a call for a human, not the routine.
• CI status: all 9 checks green. No other review feedback, no CHANGES_REQUESTED.

The routine will not pick this PR up again until the pr-fix-stuck label is removed.
