Conversation
CodeQL's GitHub-managed default setup skips Dependabot PRs entirely, causing required status checks to never run. Replace it with a Semgrep CE workflow that triggers normally on all pull_request events. - p/default: curated high-confidence JS/TS security rules - p/github-actions: command injection and secrets inheritance checks

Add the synchronize event type so the check appears alongside every new batch of status checks, not only on open/edit/reopen.

What Changed
Replace CodeQL's GitHub-managed "default setup" with a Semgrep CE workflow. The default setup skips Dependabot PRs entirely (checks complete instantly as
NEUTRAL), which blocks merging when those checks are required. Semgrep runs as a normal workflow file and triggers on allpull_requestevents including Dependabot.Also updated the "Required status checks" ruleset to require
Scan(Semgrep) instead ofAnalyze (javascript-typescript)andAnalyze (actions)(CodeQL), and disabled the CodeQL default setup via the API.Additionally, added
synchronizeto the PR title lint workflow's event types so the check re-runs on every push, not only on open/edit/reopen.Type of Change
