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.

James MaesandCodex	c818e3f0fa	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. Co-Authored-By: Codex (GPT-6) <noreply@openai.com>	2026-10-29 16:09:04 -05:00
