GitHub code scanning coverage on WindowsForum.com centers on CodeQL, the static-analysis engine behind GitHub's code-scanning alerts. The tagged discussion tracks CodeQL 2.27.1, a point release that added new C/C++ and C# queries, supported Kotlin 2.4.20, and corrected accuracy issues across seven languages.
