Bumps github/codeql-action/init from 4.38.2 to 4.39.3.

Release notes

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

v4.39.3

• Fixed diff-informed alert filtering incorrectly removing alerts in changed files whose paths contain spaces, special characters, or non-ASCII characters. #4283

v4.39.2

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.4. #4284
• Upcoming breaking change: CodeQL version 2.22.3 and earlier were discontinued on 16 October 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.18, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. Added a deprecation warning for customers using these versions of CodeQL. #4266
• Starting with macOS 27 and Xcode 27, traced analyses are unsupported. See this blog post for more information. The CodeQL Action will now try to identify if a workflow is about to perform a traced analysis on version 27 or above of macOS or Xcode. If so, the CodeQL Action will emit a corresponding warning that will also be visible on the Tool Status Page. This check will be rolled out following this release of the CodeQL Action. #4221
• The undocumented TRAP cache cleanup feature that could be enabled using the CODEQL_ACTION_CLEANUP_TRAP_CACHES environment variable has been removed, as announced in the release notes for CodeQL Action 4.35.2. The analyze Action now warns if this environment variable is set. If you used TRAP cache cleanup to limit Actions cache usage, we recommend disabling TRAP caching by passing the trap-caching: false input to the init Action. #4243

v4.39.1

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.3. #4256

v4.39.0

• Breaking change: Bump the minimum required CodeQL bundle version to 2.20.7. #4205
• The codeql-action/analyze step now validates that a correct argument for the checkout_path input has been provided. The checkout_path input must be set to the path where the repository that is being analyzed is checked out at on the runner, if that path is something other than the workspace root. If the path does not point to a repository checkout or is different from the path that was used by codeql-action/init, then the CodeQL Action now produces a warning. #4148
• Resolved an issue with third-party caching implementations that prevented caches from being restored correctly. #4206
• The codeql-action/start-proxy step that is used in Code Scanning Default Setup now finds CodeQL releases using the same logic as codeql-action/init. This primarily benefits customers who are using GitHub instances other than github.com where the codeql-action/start-proxy step may previously have been unable to locate recent releases and ended up using outdated versions of the private registry authentication proxy as a result. #4198

v4.38.3

• Upcoming breaking change: CodeQL version 2.21.2 and earlier were discontinued on 24 September 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.17, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. Added a deprecation warning for customers using these versions of CodeQL. #4188
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.2. #4203
• Fixed a bug where the decision of whether to use a per-language bundle did not account for custom configurations that reference queries outside of compiled CodeQL packs. This issue was caught during internal testing and did not affect any customer repositories. We will resume the roll out of per-language bundles in the coming weeks. #4184

4.38.2 - 24 Sept 2026

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.1. #4160

4.38.1 - 18 Sept 2026

• The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. #4146

4.38.0 - 09 Sept 2026

• 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

Update the analyze action to the same version.

init saves configuration for v4.39.3, but analyze on Line 44 still runs v4.38.2. The analyze action rejects the version mismatch, so every matrix job fails before scanning. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update analyze to the same v4.39.3 commit.
