fix(ci): codeql-action v4.38.1 -> v4.38.0 SHA pin + dependabot hold (estate-wide startup_failure) (#119)
## Summary Estate-wide incident: `github/codeql-action` **v4.38.1** fails GitHub workflow **startup** on every repo that took it — CodeQL/Hypatia runs die with `startup_failure`, zero jobs dispatched, no error text in any API surface. The evidence chain (full detail: **nexia-list#100**): | repo | ref | status | |---|---|---| | nexia-list | `@v4.38.1` tag (via dependabot #94) | 🔴 startup_failure → fixed by rollback #100 (merged) | | hypatia | `@1c5b675` (4.38.1 SHA) | 🔴 | | vexometer | `@v4.38.1` | 🔴 (since Sep-21) | | rsr-template-repo | `@1c5b675` | 🔴 | | affinescript / boj-server / deed-ecosystem | ≤ v4.38.0 | ✅ green | The v4.38.1 tag *exists* (peels to `1c5b675`) and byte-identical workflow content runs under a fresh path — so the failure is the **version value itself** at GitHub's start-validation layer, not content, permissions (probes with `security-events` start fine), or the default-setup conflict. ## Changes here - `codeql-reusable.yml`, `hypatia-scan-reusable.yml`: `codeql-action/*` re-pinned `1c5b675` (v4.38.1) → `b96794f0` (**v4.38.0** commit; wrong `# v3` comments corrected to `# v4.38.0`). - `actions.lock`: re-keyed to the v4.38.0 SHA entries (dependabot bumped the reusable pins without regenerating the lock). - `dependabot.yml`: **full hold** on `github/codeql-action` — scoped `versions:` ignores do NOT hold for this bot path (nexia-list#101 re-raised the bump in SHA form within an hour, copying the inline warning comment verbatim while swapping the SHA). ## Follow-ups Consumer rollbacks shipped in the same batch: nexia-list (merged ✅), **hypatia**, **vexometer**, **rsr-template-repo**, **metadatastician/burble** (each with the same dependabot hold). Reconsider the hold when upstream clears v4.38.1 or a newer release verifies green on one canary repo. Co-authored-by: arena-agent <arena-agent@users.noreply.github.com>
