+# Static analysis for the TypeScript tree. This is GitHub's default setup
+# expressed as a workflow file rather than enabled from the repository
+# settings, so the query suite, the excluded paths and the schedule are
+# reviewable in the diff like everything else here.
+#
+# Deliberately NOT on `push: main`. The weekly run already analyses the
+# default branch, which is what keeps the Security tab current, and every
+# change reaches `main` through a pull request that is analysed on the way
+# in. Adding a push trigger would analyse the same tree a second time
+# minutes later for no additional signal.
