Research direction

Start by tracing how Code Quality runs select workflows and read configuration, then compare that behavior with the custom workflow and CodeQL configuration paths. Determine whether the intended outcome is CodeQL customization or running Code Quality without CodeQL, and verify the chosen behavior through code coverage reporting.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, Code Quality runs don't use the custom workflow and ignore the config file.

Either add support for CodeQL customization for Code Quality or allow to enable Code Quality without CodeQL, as we only need it for code coverage reporting.
