Bumps the github-actions-dependencies group with 2 updates: github/codeql-action/init and github/codeql-action/analyze.

Updates github/codeql-action/init from 4.38.0 to 4.38.1

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action/init's releases.

v4.38.1

  • The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. #4146
Changelog

Sourced from github/codeql-action/init's changelog.

No user facing changes.

4.38.1 - 18 Sept 2026

  • The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. #4146

4.38.0 - 09 Sept 2026

  • On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. #4124
  • The CodeQL Action now supports CodeQL releases that are compatible with Linux Arm64 and downloads the native linux-arm64 CodeQL bundle when available. #4072
  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.0. #4129

4.37.9 - 26 Aug 2026

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.4. #4106

4.37.8 - 21 Aug 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.7 - 13 Aug 2026

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

4.37.6 - 04 Aug 2026

  • Changed the default filepath for the new remote file address format that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 / 3.37.0 to .github/codeql-config.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #4070

4.37.5 - 03 Aug 2026

  • Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026

  • 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

4.37.3 - 22 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026

  • 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

Dependency review — codeql-action 4.38.0 → 4.38.1

  • Gather context / read the diff
  • Verify pinned SHA matches the claimed tag
  • Review changelog for breaking/behaviour changes
  • Check repo usage of codeql-action inputs
  • Post review

Verdict: safe to merge. Patch bump, no action changes required in this repo.

What changed

One dependency, two call sites — both in .github/workflows/codeql.yaml:

Action Old New
github/codeql-action/init (L58) b96794f v4.38.0 1c5b675 v4.38.1
github/codeql-action/analyze (L65) b96794f v4.38.0 1c5b675 v4.38.1

Both moved to the same SHA. That matters — a version skew between init and analyze is the classic way this action breaks, and Dependabot's grouping avoided it here. grep confirms these are the only two codeql-action references in the repo, so no third call site was left behind on the old pin.

The commented version matches Dependabot's own commit list (1c5b675 = "Merge pull request #4152 … update-v4.38.1", with the compare range b96794f...1c5b675). I could not independently resolve the tag → SHA via the GitHub API in this run (no network permission), so that mapping rests on Dependabot's metadata rather than a first-hand check.

Changelog review

4.38.1 contains exactly one entry: experimental support for per-language CodeQL bundles (#4146) — smaller, single-language bundles instead of the combined all-language bundle. No breaking changes, no deprecations, no input schema changes, no default bundle version bump.

This is actually well-matched to how the workflow is built. The matrix runs actions (build-mode: none) and go (build-mode: autobuild) as two separate jobs, each calling init with a single languages: value — the exact shape per-language bundles optimize. Expect a faster, smaller download per job once the rollout reaches this repo.

Usage check — no incompatibilities

Every input the workflow passes is unchanged in 4.38.1:

  • init: languages, build-mode, queries: security-extended
  • analyze: category: "/language:${{ matrix.language }}"

Also unaffected: the security-events: write / contents: read / actions: read permission set, the cancel-in-progress guard that keeps main/scheduled scans from being cancelled, and the CodeQL advanced setup requirement from CLAUDE.md (default setup must stay disabled). There's no .github/codeql/codeql-config.yml in the repo, so no config-file address-format concerns from the 4.37.x line apply.

One note on scope: CLAUDE.md documents a workflow-content guard that fails federated auth for PRs touching .github/workflows/pr-quality.yaml. This PR touches codeql.yaml only, so that guard isn't tripped.

Watch items (low risk, no action needed now)

  1. Toolcache churn on first runs. 4.38.0 added deletion of unused bundles from the toolcache, and 4.38.1 introduces a different bundle shape. The first runs after merge may re-download rather than reuse a cached bundle. timeout-minutes: 20 has comfortable headroom for a repo this size (Go autobuild dominates the budget), so this should be invisible — worth a glance at the init step duration on the first main run if you're curious.
  2. The feature is experimental and server-gated. Behaviour can shift during GitHub's rollout independently of anything in this diff. If CodeQL starts behaving oddly in the coming weeks, this pin is the thing to bisect against.
  3. Confirm the baseline re-scan. The value of the push: [main] trigger is keeping PR alerts diff-scoped. A green run on main post-merge confirms both matrix legs still upload SARIF.

Nothing here blocks the merge — no bugs, security concerns, or performance regressions found in the change.
