14-20: Consider addingworkflow_dispatch.An on-demand trigger makes it easier to rerun CodeQL after query/config changes without pushing a no-op commit.

In @.github/workflows/codeql.yml:
- Around line 61-62: Replace floating action tags with the provided immutable
commit SHAs: change uses: actions/checkout@v4 to uses:
actions/checkout@34e114876b0b11c390a56381ad16ebd13914f8d5, change
github/codeql-action/init@... to
github/codeql-action/init@dd677812177e0c29f9c970a6c58d8607ae1bfefd, and change
github/codeql-action/analyze@... to
github/codeql-action/analyze@dd677812177e0c29f9c970a6c58d8607ae1bfefd so the
workflow references immutable commit SHAs instead of floating tags (locate the
uses entries for actions/checkout and github/codeql-action/init/analyze in the
codeql.yml to apply the changes).
- Around line 35-36: The workflow unnecessarily grants the `packages: read`
permission, widening GITHUB_TOKEN scope; remove the `packages: read` entry from
the permissions block in the CodeQL workflow (the `packages: read` line in
.github/workflows/codeql.yml) so the workflow no longer requests that unused
permission.

Pin the GitHub Actions to immutable commit SHAs.
Using floating @v4 tags in a security workflow means upstream tag movement can change what runs without a PR in this repo. Replace with commit SHAs:

- Remove `actions` and `java-kotlin` from the advanced workflow matrix; these languages are already covered by the repository's default CodeQL setup (Settings > Security > Code scanning) and uploading SARIF from an advanced configuration while the default setup is enabled raises: "CodeQL analyses from advanced configurations cannot be processed when the default setup is enabled". - Keep `javascript-typescript`, which is not covered by the default setup and was already succeeding. - Add `workflow_dispatch` trigger so the workflow can be re-run manually. - Drop unused `packages: read` permission. - Simplify `runs-on` (swift matrix entry removed, always ubuntu-latest).

YAML indentation under strategy.matrix.include is invalid: list items must be indented beneath include:. As written, - language: ... is at the same level as include:, which will break parsing and prevent the matrix from being created (making matrix.language/matrix.build-mode undefined).

The repository's default CodeQL setup (Settings > Security > Code scanning) already runs all three languages — actions, java-kotlin, and javascript-typescript — successfully on every push and PR. Running the advanced workflow on top of the default setup causes a hard conflict for every language: "CodeQL analyses from advanced configurations cannot be processed when the default setup is enabled" Since the advanced workflow provides no additional configuration (no custom queries, same build modes), it is fully redundant. Removing it avoids the failing checks while retaining equivalent CodeQL coverage via the default setup. To switch to the advanced setup in the future, first disable the default setup under Settings > Security > Code scanning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
