X Title: Overlay: Use overlay-aware CLI version when analyzing PRs by henrymercer · Pull Request #3880 · github/codeql-action

Description: When analyzing PRs, prefer CLI versions that have cached overlay-base databases to speed up analysis time. However to ensure we can effectively rollback new versions, do not use a CodeQL version whose feature flag is disabled, even if this means running without overlay analysis. This will be shipped via two feature flags: overlay_analysis_match_codeql_version_dry_run logs a diagnostic when the overlay-aware version differs from the latest enabled version overlay_analysis_match_codeql_version uses the overlay-aware version when analysing PRs Risk assessment For internal use only. Please select the risk level of this change: Low risk: Changes are fully under feature flags, or have been fully tested and validated in pre-production environments and are highly observable, or are documentation or test only. Which use cases does this change impact? Workflow types: Advanced setup - Impacts users who have custom CodeQL workflows. Managed - Impacts users with dynamic workflows (Default Setup, Code Quality, ...). Products: Code Scanning - The changes impact analyses when analysis-kinds: code-scanning. Code Quality - The changes impact analyses when analysis-kinds: code-quality. Other first-party - The changes impact other first-party analyses. Environments: Dotcom - Impacts CodeQL workflows on github.com and/or GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency. How did/will you validate this change? Unit tests - I am depending on unit test coverage (i.e. tests in .test.ts files). If something goes wrong after this change is released, what are the mitigation and rollback strategies? Feature flags - All new or changed code paths can be fully disabled with corresponding feature flags. How will you know if something goes wrong after this change is released? Telemetry - I rely on existing telemetry or have made changes to the telemetry. Dashboards - I will watch relevant dashboards for issues after the release. Consider whether this requires this change to be released at a particular time rather than as part of a regular release. Alerts - New or existing monitors will trip if something goes wrong with this change. Are there any special considerations for merging or releasing this change? No special considerations - This change can be merged at any time. Merge / deployment checklist Confirm this change is backwards compatible with existing workflows. Consider adding a changelog entry for this change. Confirm the readme and docs have been updated if necessary.
