This pull request sets up GitHub code scanning for this repository. Once the scans have completed and the checks have passed, the analysis results for this pull request branch will appear on this overview. Once you merge this pull request, the 'Security' tab will show more code scanning analysis results (for example, for the default branch). Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
High-level	Consider using the default CodeQL setup Instead of adding an "Advanced" CodeQL workflow file, consider using the "Default" setup. The default configuration is managed by GitHub, supports Python and Actions, and requires no workflow file, reducing maintenance. Examples: .github/workflows/codeql.yml [1-101] # For most projects, this workflow file will not need changing; you simply need # to commit it to your repository. # # You may wish to alter this file to override the set of languages analyzed, # or to provide custom queries or build logic. # # ******** NOTE ******** # We have attempted to detect the languages in your repository. Please check # the `language` matrix defined below to confirm you have the correct set of # supported CodeQL languages. ... (clipped 91 lines) Solution Walkthrough: Before: # .github/workflows/codeql.yml name: "CodeQL Advanced" on: push: branches: [ "master" ] pull_request: branches: [ "master" ] ... jobs: analyze: strategy: matrix: include: - language: actions - language: python steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: github/codeql-action/init@v4 - uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@v4 After: # No file needed. # This functionality can be enabled via the GitHub UI: # 1. Go to the repository's "Settings". # 2. Navigate to "Code security and analysis". # 3. In the "Code scanning" section, click "Set up" and choose "Default". # # This removes the need for the `.github/workflows/codeql.yml` file entirely. Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the "Advanced" setup is overly complex for the PR's goal, proposing a simpler, maintenance-free "Default" setup which is a significant improvement.	Medium
Possible issue	Ensure workflow triggers on main branch Add main to the list of branches for push and pull_request triggers to ensure the workflow runs on repositories using main as the default branch. .github/workflows/codeql.yml [14-18] on: push: - branches: [ "master" ] + branches: [ "master", "main" ] pull_request: - branches: [ "master" ] + branches: [ "master", "main" ] Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: This is a valid suggestion that improves the workflow's robustness by ensuring it triggers on both master and main, which are common default branch names.	Low
General	Fetch full repository history Set fetch-depth: 0 in the checkout step to provide the full repository history to CodeQL, potentially improving the accuracy of its analysis. .github/workflows/codeql.yml [59-60] - name: Checkout repository uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + fetch-depth: 0 Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: The suggestion correctly points out that a full git history (fetch-depth: 0) can improve CodeQL analysis, which is a good practice for security scanning.	Low
	Simplify runner selection Refactor the runner selection by adding an os variable to the strategy matrix and using runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }} for better clarity. .github/workflows/codeql.yml [30] -runs-on: ${{ (matrix.language == 'swift' && 'macos-latest') || 'ubuntu-latest' }} +# in strategy.matrix.include entries, add: +# os: macos-latest # for swift +# os: ubuntu-latest # for other languages +runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }} Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 __ Why: This is a valid refactoring that improves the readability and maintainability of the workflow by simplifying the runner selection logic.
