build(deps): bump github/codeql-action/analyze from 4.37.9 to 4.38.0

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action/analyze from 4.37.9 to 4.38.0.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action/analyze's releases.

v4.38.0

• On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. #4124
• The CodeQL Action now supports CodeQL releases that are compatible with Linux Arm64 and downloads the native linux-arm64 CodeQL bundle when available. #4072
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.0. #4129

4.37.8 - 21 Aug 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.7 - 13 Aug 2026

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

4.37.6 - 04 Aug 2026

• Changed the default filepath for the new remote file address format that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 / 3.37.0 to .github/codeql-config.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #4070

4.37.5 - 03 Aug 2026

• Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026

• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository property. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the value to toolcache to always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided for tools in the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts with !. #4037
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2. #4051

4.37.3 - 22 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026

• The new address format for the config-file input that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, the remote= prefix can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote file. All previous input formats continue to be accepted as well. #4023
• The CodeQL Action can now make use of configured private registries in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes out to everyone in July. #4007

4.37.1 - 16 Jul 2026

Superseded by #2243, merged as c58eb61 — thank you, the version detection here was correct and useful.

Closing because this one could not have gone green on its own, and it is worth writing down why rather than leaving it looking like a rejected bump.

init and analyze share a configuration file, and CodeQL refuses to read one written by a different version:

##[error] Loaded a configuration file for version '4.38.0', but running version '4.37.9'

The action says so directly in the same log: "Not all workflow steps that use github/codeql-action actions use the same version." So bumping analyze alone (this PR) or init alone (#2185) creates the mismatch, and neither could reach a green required check. Merging them one after the other would not have helped either — whichever landed first would have left the pair mismatched.

#2243 moves both refs in one commit, to b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63 — exactly the SHA this PR targeted. upload-sarif (#2186) was genuinely independent, since it runs in scorecard.yml and shares no configuration with these two, so it landed on its own as 45c45be.

Nothing was wrong with this bump. It just needed a sibling.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
