Re-enable java-kotlin CodeQL analysis after CodeQL supports Kotlin 2.3.20 #198

Context

CodeQL CLI 2.24.3 doesn't support Kotlin 2.3.20 (released 2026-03-16). The java-kotlin language was disabled in the CodeQL workflow matrix to unblock CI.

Upstream tracking: github/codeql#21484

What to do

Once github/codeql#21484 is resolved and a CodeQL CLI release supports Kotlin 2.3.20:

  1. Uncomment java-kotlin in .github/workflows/codeql.yml (two lines in the matrix builder, ~lines 61 and 68)
  2. Verify the CodeQL (java-kotlin) check passes

Duplicate CodeQL checks (known, low priority)

The repo runs both the org-enforced default CodeQL setup and our custom workflow, producing duplicate check runs for every language:

  • Analyze (*) — default setup (org-enforced "GitHub recommended" config)
  • CodeQL (*) — our custom workflow (SARIF filtering, manual build modes, config file)

Neither is a required status check, so the Analyze (java-kotlin) failure from the default setup doesn't block merges. The org config can't be overridden per-repo without also losing secret scanning, push protection, and GHAS. Not worth changing org policy for this — just cosmetic noise.
