Greptile Summary

This PR updates the CodeQL security analysis configuration through two key changes: upgrading the CodeQL action from v3 to v4, and explicitly defining scan paths in the configuration file.

The changes evolved through multiple iterations:

• Started by upgrading CodeQL action to v4
• Added explicit file extension patterns (**/*.py, **/*.js, etc.)
• Refined to directory-based paths (reflex, reflex/.templates)
• Finally added .github directory to enable workflow scanning

Key improvements:

• CodeQL v4 upgrade provides latest security detection capabilities
• Explicit path configuration ensures consistent scanning across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and GitHub Actions files
• Added .github directory scanning enables detection of workflow security issues
• Maintains test exclusion to avoid false positives from test code

The iterative commit history suggests troubleshooting of scanning configuration issues, with the PR author experimenting with different path specification approaches before settling on the current directory-based approach.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk - it only modifies CI/CD security scanning configuration without affecting runtime code
• The changes are limited to CodeQL configuration and workflow files that don't affect production code. The v3 to v4 upgrade follows GitHub's official migration path. The explicit path configuration is a reasonable approach, though the iterative nature of commits suggests the fix hasn't been validated yet through successful workflow runs
• Monitor .github/codeql-config.yml after merge to verify the path specifications work correctly with CodeQL v4
