Enable GitHub CodeQL scanning #19

Description

@lornakelly

Summary

Configure GitHub’s CodeQL code scanning for this repository to analyze the JavaScript/TypeScript codebase, catch common security issues early, and surface findings in the repo Security → Code scanning alerts.

Goals

  • Enable CodeQL analysis for JS/TS to detect common vulnerabilities and insecure patterns.
  • Run analysis automatically via GitHub Actions and publish results to the Security tab.
  • Keep configuration lightweight and maintainable for an OSS repo.

Non-Goals

  • Custom CodeQL queries on day one.
  • Scanning non-JS/TS languages unless required.
  • Treating CodeQL as a replacement for unit tests/linting.
