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.
#
# 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.

    branches: [main]
  schedule:
    # Mondays, 04:27 UTC. Off the hour so the run does not queue behind
    # everyone else's midnight cron.

      # `build-mode: none` is the correct mode for JavaScript/TypeScript —
      # 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`.
