name: CodeQL

# Controls CodeQL scan triggers for this repo.
#
# GitHub's "Code quality" default setup (the UI-configured one) is
# hardcoded to only scan the default branch — on this repo that's
# `staging`, so PRs promoting staging→main would otherwise never be
# scanned. This workflow fills that gap by explicitly scanning both
# branches on push and PR.
#
# Runs on ubuntu-latest (GHA-hosted — public repo, free). GHAS is NOT
# enabled on this repo, so results are not uploaded to the Security
# tab — the scan fails the PR check on findings, and the SARIF is
# kept as a workflow artifact for triage.

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, staging]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main, staging]
  # GitHub merge queue fires `merge_group` for the queue's pre-merge CI run.
  # Required so CodeQL Analyze checks get a real result on the queued
  # commit instead of a false-green. Event only fires once merge queue is
  # enabled on the target branch — safe to add unconditionally.
  merge_group:

  schedule:
    # Weekly run picks up findings in code that hasn't been touched.

# Workflow-level concurrency: only one CodeQL run per branch/PR at a time.
# `cancel-in-progress: false` queues new runs so a quick follow-up push
# doesn't nuke a 45-min analysis mid-flight.
