Pull Request Overview
This PR implements SARIF filtering to exclude third-party code from CodeQL analysis results by replacing the built-in path exclusion mechanism with a post-analysis filtering approach.
- Removes the CodeQL configuration that excluded
third-party/paths during analysis - Adds a new filtering step using the
advanced-security/filter-sarifaction for Go language analysis - Updates the workflow to use separate analysis and upload steps with filtered SARIF files

Looks good to me!
I noticed on https://github.com/advanced-security/filter-sarif the example uploads the SARIF files as a workflow artifact, which I imagine could be nice to have but not a requirement.

thought: so before these changes, codeql was generating and uploading separate SARIF files per language 🤔 interesting, hadn't quite thought about that

It should still be uploading separate SARIF files per language since these jobs are in a matrix.
I don't typically do that because we can technically still pull down a slightly processed SARIF if needed. https://github.com/BagToad/gh-sarif does that. |
