build(deps): bump github/codeql-action/init from 3.37.0 to 4.37.0

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action/init from 3.37.0 to 4.37.0.

Release notes

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

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

v4.35.2

• The undocumented TRAP cache cleanup feature that could be enabled using the CODEQL_ACTION_CLEANUP_TRAP_CACHES environment variable is deprecated and will be removed in May 2026. If you are affected by this, we recommend disabling TRAP caching by passing the trap-caching: false input to the init Action. #3795
• The Git version 2.36.0 requirement for improved incremental analysis now only applies to repositories that contain submodules. #3789
• Python analysis on GHES no longer extracts the standard library, relying instead on models of the standard library. This should result in significantly faster extraction and analysis times, while the effect on alerts should be minimal. #3794
• Fixed a bug in the validation of OIDC configurations for private registries that was added in CodeQL Action 4.33.0 / 3.33.0. #3807
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.2. #3823

v4.35.1

• Fix incorrect minimum required Git version for improved incremental analysis: it should have been 2.36.0, not 2.11.0. #3781

v4.35.0

• Reduced the minimum Git version required for improved incremental analysis from 2.38.0 to 2.11.0. #3767
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.1. #3773

Verdict: no blocking issues — approved. Single SHA-pinned version bump; SHA verified correct.

What I checked

Diff surface: one changed line in .github/workflows/codeql.yml:

-        uses: github/codeql-action/init@02c5e83432fe5497fd85b873b6c9f16a8578e1d9 # v3.37.0
+        uses: github/codeql-action/init@99df26d4f13ea111d4ec1a7dddef6063f76b97e9 # v4.37.0

SHA verification: I resolved refs/tags/v4.37.0 in github/codeql-action via the Git API. The annotated tag object (24ea975…) dereferences to commit 99df26d4f13ea111d4ec1a7dddef6063f76b97e9 — an exact match to the pinned SHA in this PR. The version comment # v4.37.0 is accurate.

Breaking changes in the version range (v3.37.0 → v4.37.0): the only breaking change noted in the release history is v4.36.0 bumping the minimum required CodeQL bundle version to 2.19.4. This workflow does not pin a CodeQL CLI version, so the action uses its own bundled default (2.26.0 in v4.37.0) — the breaking change does not apply.

No correctness bugs, security issues, or misconfigured inputs were found in the changed lines.

---

Minor note (non-blocking)

This PR bumps codeql-action/init to v4; the companion codeql-action/analyze step remains on v3.37.0 until PR #30 is also merged. Using mismatched major versions of init and analyze within the same workflow run is the standard Dependabot split-PR pattern, and the CodeQL analysis CI check on this PR exercises the merged state directly — if it passes, the intermediate configuration is validated. Merging both #31 and #30 together (or #30 immediately after) will restore full version consistency.

---

What's good

The workflow already pins every action to a full commit SHA with a version comment — a sound supply-chain practice. The Dependabot PR correctly maintains that pattern for the bumped version.

[askalf]

Superseded by #32 — codeql-action init+analyze bumped to v4.37.0 together (this PR alone left a v3/v4 mismatch that failed CI).

[dependabot]

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
