🌐 Web query:
GitHub CodeQL Action same version init autobuild analyze requirement v4.38.0 bundle toolcache cleanup
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
GitHub CodeQL Action version v4.38.0 was released in September 2026 [1]. Key updates and requirements regarding your query are summarized below: Toolcache Cleanup In v4.38.0, the CodeQL Action introduced automatic cleanup of unused CodeQL bundles from the runner's toolcache [1]. When running on GitHub-hosted runners, the Action now deletes existing (unused) CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different version, effectively freeing up disk space for the analysis [1]. This behavior is handled automatically by the Action and does not require manual configuration [1]. Action Requirements (Init, Autobuild, Analyze) - Consistent Versions: You must use the same version of the CodeQL Action across all steps (init, autobuild, and analyze) within a single workflow [2]. Mixing different versions of the Action in the same workflow is unsupported and will trigger warnings or errors [2]. - Setup: - The init step initializes the CodeQL tools and sets up the analysis environment [3][4]. - The autobuild step (or build-mode: autobuild in init) is used for compiled languages to automatically build the source code [5][4]. - The analyze step finalizes the database, performs the analysis, and uploads the results [4]. - Tooling Input: By default, the Action uses the recommended version of the CodeQL bundle [3]. You can override this using the tools input [3]. Supported values include a local path, a URL to a release asset, or the toolcache value, which directs the Action to use a version already present in the runner's toolcache [3][6]. The use of tools: toolcache is now a supported feature [7]. Recommendation For advanced setups, it is recommended to reference the CodeQL Action using a major version tag (e.g., v4) in your workflow file [8]. This ensures your workflow automatically receives the latest updates, including bug fixes, new features, and the automatic toolcache cleanup introduced in v4.38.0 [1][8].

Update the init and analyze action pins as well.
The workflow uses init and analyze at v4.37.8 while autobuild uses v4.38.0. Mixed CodeQL Action versions are unsupported. The v4.37.8 init step selects the older default CodeQL bundle, so this workflow does not receive v4.38.0's default bundle, toolcache cleanup, or Linux Arm64 changes.
Pin all three CodeQL Action steps to the v4.38.0 commit:
