# CodeQL code scanning
#
# Purpose: GitHub's own static analysis engine reads the application source
# (Python backend + the JavaScript frontend) and looks for real
# vulnerabilities -- SQL/command injection, path traversal, auth mistakes,
# unsafe deserialization. Findings appear in the repo's Security tab. This is
# the deepest check in the suite and the most valuable for a high-profile
# target.
#
# It runs on every push to main and on a weekly schedule (to catch newly
# disclosed query patterns against unchanged code). It deliberately does NOT
# run on pull requests: most PRs here come from forks, whose read-only token
# cannot publish results, which would produce confusing failures. To scan pull
# requests too, a maintainer can instead enable CodeQL "default setup" in
# Settings -> Security -> Code scanning (one toggle, no file needed) -- see
# docs/security-ci.md.
