ci(codeql): optional build-command instead of autobuild - #17
Merged

Conversation
Some projects can't be built by CodeQL's autobuild, for example mixed Kotlin/Java builds that compile Kotlin with an explicit kotlin:compile goal. Callers can now pass build-command; CodeQL traces the compilers it runs. The command is passed through an environment variable, not interpolated into the script.

Adds an optional
build-commandinput to the reusable CodeQL workflow, for projects that CodeQL's autobuild can't build on its own.Why
Autobuild runs a plain build (e.g.
mvn package). Some projects need extra goals. For example, a mixed Kotlin/Java module where Kotlin is compiled with an explicitkotlin:compilegoal fails under autobuild withcannot find symbol, because javac runs before the Kotlin classes exist.What changes
build-command(string, default'').Autobuildstep is skipped and aBuildstep runs the command instead. CodeQL traces the compilers it runs, as with any manual build betweeninitandanalyze.eval "$BUILD_COMMAND"), not interpolated into the script.Example
