Research direction
Start with the workflow configuration shown in the issue, focusing on CodeQL initialization with languages: go and the paths setting. Compare the resulting SARIF locations with the annotation shown in the report and check how paths and paths-ignore are interpreted for Go. Done means determining whether the annotation is incorrect or the configuration is unsupported, with the behavior or documentation made consistent.

Description
I battled for a while to get the action to only run for Go and a specific directory in a multi-language mono-repo.
I seemed to successful with the following:
- name: Initialize CodeQL
uses: github/codeql-action/init@v3
with:
languages: go
config: |
paths:
- ${{ inputs.path }}
By successful I mean that I can see in the SARIF reports that I am only getting locations related to the go part of the repository (before I was seeing everything from all languages in the reports).
So, the evidence suggests that this combination does what I needed - yet I get the annoying annotation below on every run:
Is it a faulty annotation?
