Summary

  • update init, autobuild, and analyze together to CodeQL Action v4.38.0
  • group github/codeql-action/* updates in Dependabot so the workflow cannot drift across incompatible action versions

Why

The weekly Java CodeQL job currently fails during analysis with:

Loaded a configuration file for version '4.37.6', but running version '4.37.8'

Dependabot opened separate updates for each CodeQL Action component. Merging the analyze and autobuild updates without init left the workflow unable to finalize and upload a Java snapshot, which triggered the S360 CodeQL.Uploading action.

This PR is based on #386 and supersedes #385, #386, and #387 with one atomic update. After merge, a push to main will run the CodeQL workflow and produce the required snapshot.

Validation

  • parsed .github/dependabot.yml and .github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml as YAML
  • verified all three CodeQL Action steps use commit b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63, the dereferenced v4.38.0 tag
  • git diff --check passes

Keep init, autobuild, and analyze on the same CodeQL action version so Dependabot cannot create an invalid mixed-version workflow.
