ci: enable branch-aware shared CodeQL scanning

Add the reviewed immutable shared CodeQL caller. Preserve existing source languages and add Actions scanning. Local actionlint and actual source-inventory selection passed. Merge requires accepted exact-head scanner uploads and existing CI gates. Use a ci: squash commit so the published orb selects test-only CI maintenance without artifact publication.

+## Knowledge base
+
+Reviewed knowledge for this repo and the wider QQQ platform lives in the second-brain
+vault (`$SECOND_BRAIN_VAULT`):
+
+- Hub / entry point: `knowledge/qqq/qqq-hub.md`
+- This repo's dossier: `knowledge/qqq/repos/qbit-custom-apps.md`
+  (reviewed at commit `f2df9b63f6cb`, branch `main`, 2026-07-04)
+- QBit mechanics refresher: `knowledge/qqq/architecture/metadata-model.md`
+
+Key facts from the review: experimental/demo-stage QBit; real development is on
+`origin/develop` (never merged to main); main pins qqq-backend-core and
+qqq-frontend-material-dashboard to the local-dev sentinel `0.9999.0` (not buildable from
+public repos); licensing is contradictory (Apache-2.0 LICENSE vs AGPL pom/headers, plus a
+proprietary ColdTrack header on `LookerWidgetRenderer.java`); no tests, no releases.

+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one

+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.

+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the

+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# qbit-custom-apps
+
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache_2.0-blue.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0)
+
+> **Status:** ⚠️ **Experimental / scaffold.** This qbit declares dependencies against `0.9999.0` sentinel versions of `qqq-backend-core` and `qqq-frontend-material-dashboard`, which means it does **not** consume a released framework version. Treat as exploratory until a maintainer confirms its intended state.
+
+QBit that aims to let qqq apps register **custom application screens** declaratively — pages built from widgets, forms, and table views — without writing dedicated front-end components.
+
+**Type:** Application QBit
+**For:** Developers building qqq apps that need bespoke screens beyond standard table CRUD
+
+## Why this exists
+
+qqq's standard dashboard renders auto-generated screens from table metadata. Most apps eventually need pages that *don't* map to a single table — operator dashboards, configurator wizards, multi-step workflows that pull data from several sources, embedded Looker dashboards, etc. `qbit-custom-apps` is intended to let those screens be declared as metadata.
+
+## What it provides
+
+The repository contains the following package layout:
+
+```
+src/main/java/com/kingsrook/qbits/customapps/
+├── definition/   # CustomAppDefinition and related metadata
+├── model/        # Data models backing custom apps
+├── metadata/     # Metadata producers and registrators
+└── widgets/      # Widget composition utilities
+```
+
+## How it relates to other qqq repos
+
+- **Declared dependencies:** `qqq-backend-core`, `qqq-backend-module-rdbms`, `qqq-frontend-material-dashboard`, `qqq-middleware-api`, `qqq-middleware-javalin` — all currently pinned to the `0.9999.0` sentinel version (development build).
+- **Inherits from:** `qbit-build-parent` (in the `qbit-bom` repo).
+- **Frontend pair:** Custom apps render via the standard qqq dashboard; no separate frontend component needed.
+
+## Known gaps
+
+- No automated tests at the time this README was added.
+- Sentinel `0.9999.0` versions indicate this qbit is not currently consuming any released qqq build — meaning it can't be cleanly installed by a downstream app.
+- This README was added by an audit pass; original maintainer should verify intent and either pin to a real qqq version or mark the repo archived.
