If you pin to a specific commit SHA or patch version tag, ensure you keep it updated (e.g. via [Dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/keeping-your-actions-up-to-date-with-dependabot)). Some CodeQL Action features are controlled by server-side flags that may be removed over time, which can cause pinned versions to lose functionality.
