Research direction

Start with the linked .github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml and the referenced successful GitHub Actions run, then compare their permissions and action policy with the repository's Advanced Security settings. Reproduce the warning and determine why the running CodeQL workflow is not recognized by code scanning; done means documenting the cause and a verified configuration or product issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I look at the advanced security settings on https://github.com/blowdart/idunno.Bluesky I get a nice warning:

Code scanning with GitHub Actions is not available for this repository.
GitHub Actions policy is limiting the use of some required actions. To use code scanning, allow actions from actions/* and github/codeql-action/* in your policy, or submit code scanning results externally using the API.

Except ... I have them listed in actions permissions

My permissions are as follows:

[X] Allow blowdart, and select non-blowdart, actions and reusable workflows
[X] Allow actions created by GitHub
[ ] Allow actions by marketplace verified creators

Allow or block specified actions and reusable workflows

EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action@*,
actions/*,
azure/login@*,
danielpalme/ReportGenerator-GitHub-Action@*,
github/codeql-action/*,
irongut/CodeCoverageSummary@*,
marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@*,
nuget/login@*,
ossf/scorecard-action@*,
step-security/harden-runner@*,
test-summary/action@*,
zizmorcore/zizmor-action@*,

The CodeQL workflow runs perfectly fine but advanced security seems to think it doesn't run.

So, what's up with this? :)
