name: CodeQL

# 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.
#
# Runs on every push to `main` as well as on pull requests. Most changes
# reach `main` through a pull request that is analysed on the way in, but
# not all of them: an asset uploaded through the web UI or a maintenance
# commit pushed directly lands without one, and the weekly run would only
# catch it days later. The push run re-analyses a merged tree once more,
# which is the cost of every commit on `main` having an analysis of its own.

  push:
    branches: [main]

  schedule:

    # everyone else's midnight cron.

# A pull request keeps only its newest run: an older head is superseded and
# never merged. A push to `main` is grouped by commit and never cancelled, so
# two merges in quick succession each keep their own analysis instead of the
# second one cancelling (or replacing the queued run of) the first.

      # CodeQL extracts from source and needs neither a compile step nor
      # installed dependencies.
      #
      # The excluded paths are all generated or vendored output. Chief
      # among them is `src/generated`, the ~9 MB Prisma client with a
      # 224 KB inline schema literal in it: extracting that costs real
      # minutes and can produce nothing actionable, because nobody edits
      # it and the fix for anything found there is `pnpm prisma generate`.
