chore(deps): bump github/codeql-action from 3.35.5 to 4.36.2

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action from 3.35.5 to 4.36.2.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action's releases.

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

v4.34.1

• Downgrade default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.3 due to issues with a small percentage of Actions and JavaScript analyses. #3762

v4.34.0

• Added an experimental change which disables TRAP caching when improved incremental analysis is enabled, since improved incremental analysis supersedes TRAP caching. This will improve performance and reduce Actions cache usage. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #3569
• We are rolling out improved incremental analysis to C/C++ analyses that use build mode none. We expect this rollout to be complete by the end of April 2026. #3584
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.0. #3585

Architecture review — APPROVED.

Diff: 3 lines in .github/workflows/codeql.yml, updating the pinned SHA for github/codeql-action from v3.35.5 (458d36d7...) to v4.36.2 (8aad20d1...). All three action steps (init, autobuild, analyze) are updated consistently. No workflow logic changes — the queries, languages, category, and matrix configuration are all unchanged.

Major version bump (v3→v4): The release notes flag one breaking change in v4.36.0 — minimum required CodeQL bundle version bumped to 2.19.4. This is an internal constraint of the action itself, not a consumer-facing API change. CI confirms compatibility: CodeQL analysis passes (1m12s), as do all other jobs (Build, Unit Tests, Dependency Audit, Socket Security). The environment supports the new minimum.

Pinning: SHA-pinned, which is the correct security practice for reusable GitHub Actions. The new SHA resolves to the tagged v4.36.2 release.

No architectural or correctness concerns.

Architecture Review — APPROVE ✅

Major bump: github/codeql-action 3.35.5 → 4.36.2. 3 pin changes in codeql.yml (init, autobuild, analyze).

CI: all green — Build, Dependency Audit, Unit Tests, CodeQL, Socket all pass.

Change is safe: This is a CI analysis action, not runtime code. v4.36.0 had a documented breaking change (minimum CodeQL bundle version bumped to 2.19.4), but the CI is green — the breaking change doesn't affect bob's configuration. v4.36.2 adds SHA-256 Git object ID support, CLI version caching, and exponential backoff for SARIF polling — all improvements.

Pin comments still say # v3 (stale), but the commit hash is what matters. Non-blocking: update the comments to # v4 in a follow-up.

Ship it.

• SHA-pinned — correct security practice for reusable GitHub Actions. The new SHA resolves to the tagged v4.36.2 release.
• Major version bump (v3→v4): v4.36.0 bumped the minimum CodeQL bundle version to 2.19.4. CI is green — the environment supports it. v4.36.2 adds SHA-256 Git object ID support, CLI version caching, and exponential backoff for SARIF polling — all improvements.
