Reviewer's Guide

Introduces a scheduled and event-driven GitHub Actions CodeQL workflow that scans Actions, Python, and Rust code in parallel using no-build analysis, then publishes findings to repository security events.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs CodeQL security analysis across the repository’s detected languages.
  • Trigger scans on pushes and pull requests targeting main, plus a weekly scheduled run.
  • Analyze GitHub Actions, Python, and Rust code using CodeQL’s no-build mode in a parallel language matrix.
  • Grant the workflow permissions required to publish security results and access repository/package data.
  • Pin repository checkout and CodeQL initialization/analysis to the configured action versions, with Swift-specific runner selection retained from the template.

Summary

  • Add a CodeQL Advanced workflow for pushes and pull requests to main, plus a weekly scheduled scan.
  • Analyse GitHub Actions, Python and Rust in separate jobs using build-mode: none.
  • Grant the workflow the permissions required to read repository data and publish security scan results.
  • Add checkout, CodeQL initialisation and analysis steps. The manual-build placeholder runs only if a matrix entry uses build-mode: manual.

No related design document or issue was supplied. Test results and review finding counts are unavailable.

Walkthrough

The change adds a CodeQL workflow that analyses Actions, Python and Rust on pushes and pull requests targeting main, and on a weekly schedule. It sets workflow permissions and includes a manual-build placeholder step.

Changes

CodeQL analysis

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure CodeQL analysis
.github/workflows/codeql.yml
The workflow sets push, pull request and scheduled triggers, defines permissions, and analyses Actions, Python and Rust in separate matrix jobs. Each job checks out the repository, initialises CodeQL and performs analysis. A manual-build step prints example commands and exits with status 1 when the build mode is manual.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7cf09

Pull-request code could read the analysis job’s token. Disable persisted checkout credentials and remove the unused permissions before merging.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The pull request adds a new repository behaviour: a CodeQL workflow that selects languages, triggers on specific events, and runs a matrix of analysis jobs. The authoritative diff adds only .github/workflows/codeql.yml; it adds no tests. Existing workflow tests only provide generic parsing or contracts for other workflows. They do not assert this workflow's triggers, language matrix, build modes, permissions, or CodeQL step sequence. These are local configuration decisions, not tests of CodeQL itself, so the third-party-tool exception does not remove the testing requirement.

Resolution

Add a substantive workflow contract test under tests/workflow_contracts/ and use the existing make test-workflow-contracts target. Parse .github/workflows/codeql.yml and assert the main push and pull-request triggers, the scheduled trigger, the Actions/Python/Rust matrix with build-mode: none, required permissions, and the checkout → CodeQL init → analysis sequence. Add negative or mutation cases for a missing language, changed trigger, incorrect build mode, or missing analysis step so the test fails for plausible incorrect configurations. Do not test whether CodeQL itself works.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

The pull request adds new CodeQL tooling in .github/workflows/codeql.yml, but it does not update docs/developers-guide.md. The workflow introduces push and pull-request analysis for main, a weekly schedule, actions, python, and rust analysis with build-mode: none, Ubuntu runners, and security-related permissions. The developer guide has existing sections for CI workflows, quality gates, and runner placement, but a repository-wide documentation search finds no CodeQL guidance. The reviewed diff changes only the workflow file.

Resolution

Update docs/developers-guide.md with a CodeQL section. Document the workflow path, triggers, analysed languages, build-mode: none, runner choice, permissions, and the effect on pull requests and scheduled runs. Add the CodeQL job to the GitHub Actions runner-placement table if that table remains authoritative. State whether contributors need any local CodeQL installation or build setup. No architecture document or ADR is needed unless this workflow represents a broader architecture decision.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

The pull request adds only .github/workflows/codeql.yml; it adds no test or workflow-contract coverage. This change affects an externally observable GitHub Actions workflow, so it requires a behavioural workflow test. The repository already has make test-workflow-contracts, and tests/workflow_contracts/pr_concurrency_test.py sweeps every workflow with a pull_request trigger. The new codeql.yml declares pull_request but no concurrency block, while the contract requires both a pull-request group and guarded cancel-in-progress; the new workflow will therefore fail that existing behavioural test.

Resolution

Add the required concurrency configuration to .github/workflows/codeql.yml, matching the repository contract. Add a workflow-contract test that loads the actual CodeQL workflow and verifies its triggers, language matrix, build modes, CodeQL init/analyse steps, permissions, and scheduled execution. Run the test through make test-workflow-contracts in CI.

Remove the unused read permissions.

This public workflow has no private CodeQL pack configuration. Repository guidance requires least-privilege workflow permissions. Keep only contents: read for checkout and security-events: write for results.

Stop persisting checkout credentials during analysis.

When a pull request supplies a Rust build.rs, CodeQL’s none build mode can run that script. Checkout v7 persists its credential in a runner-temporary file until post-job cleanup. Set persist-credentials: false so repository code cannot read that stored credential during analysis. This matters most when the pull request receives a token with write permissions; fork pull requests normally receive a reduced token. (docs.github.com)

## Summary
Investigate and resolve [code-scanning alert 13](https://github.com/leynos/wireframe/security/code-scanning/13).

## Required work
- Open the alert and identify its rule, affected file and location, and any relevant execution path.
- If the finding is valid, change the affected code to address the underlying issue. Add or update relevant tests where practical.
- If the finding is a false positive or an accepted risk, document the reasoning and use the appropriate alert disposition.

## Acceptance criteria
- The alert is resolved, or its dismissal includes a documented justification.
- Any remediation is verified by the relevant tests and a subsequent code-scanning run.

## Context
Requested by `@leynos` in the discussion for [PR `#725`](https://github.com/leynos/wireframe/pull/725). The alert details are not visible to this integration, so the rule and affected files must be confirmed from the linked alert before implementation.

@leynos, issue #726 is open and assigned to you. The issue links the alert and PR #725. The integration could not access the alert details, so the issue calls for verification of the finding before remediation.
