Pull request overview
This PR hardens the repository’s GitHub Actions workflows by tightening credential handling, making installs more deterministic, and improving Pages/CodeQL reliability and security defaults.
Changes:
- Disable persisted checkout credentials (
persist-credentials: false) across CI, CodeQL, and docs workflows. - Enable scheduled CodeQL scanning, add
actions: readpermission, and fix the build output directory to a deterministicbuild/path. - Improve Ubuntu package install reliability by running
apt-get updatebeforeapt-get -y install, and add a Pages concurrency group to prevent overlapping deployments.

Tightens workflow security and reliability across CI, CodeQL, and Pages. The updates remove unnecessary persisted checkout credentials, align CodeQL permissions/scheduling with recommended defaults, and make package installation/deployment behavior more deterministic.
