github codeql-action v4.37.4 changelog mixed version detection fatal warning
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
There is no record of a "mixed version detection" fatal warning associated with GitHub CodeQL Action v4.37.4 [1][2][3]. The official changelog for CodeQL Action v4.37.4, released on July 29, 2026, focuses on two primary changes: 1. Adding support for specifying the CodeQL CLI tools input via a custom repository property [1][3]. 2. Updating the default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2 [1][3]. The phrase "mixed version detection" appears to be unrelated to the CodeQL Action. It is documented in other open-source projects, such as the Sentry Java SDK (which implemented a feature to detect and prevent mixed versions of its own modules to avoid crashes) [4][5][6][7] and the AWS SDK for Java v2 (which added a compatibility review workflow for mixed version detection) [8]. It is likely that the warning you are encountering stems from one of these or a different library in your project, rather than the CodeQL Action itself.

site:github.com/github/codeql-action mixed version detection v4.37.3 v4.38.0 #3099 #3100``
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The technical changes referenced by #3099 and #3100 involve improvements to the CodeQL Action to detect and prevent the use of mixed versions of the action within a single workflow [1][2]. Because mixing different versions of the CodeQL Action in the same workflow is unsupported and can cause unpredictable behavior, these pull requests introduced the following validation mechanisms: 1. A warning is emitted from the codeql-action/init step if different versions of the CodeQL Action are detected within the workflow file [1][3]. 2. Other CodeQL Action steps will now throw an error if they attempt to load a configuration file generated by a different version of the codeql-action/init step [1][3][2]. While your query mentions version numbers v4.37.3 and v4.38.0, these specific pull requests (#3099 and #3100) were implemented earlier in the project history (September 2025) [4][2] and are included as part of the standard behavior in versions including v4.37.3 and later [3]. They are not version-specific changes introduced in v4.37.3 or v4.38.0 themselves, but rather foundational stability features [1][3].

Align all CodeQL action steps to one release.
The workflow uses v4.38.0 for init and v4.37.3 for autobuild and analyze. Mixed-version detection was already present in v4.37.3, not added by v4.37.4. The init step warns about the mismatch, and later steps can throw a configuration error when they load state generated by a different init version. No compatibility exception is documented for these versions.
Update lines 42 and 52 to the same v4.38.0 pin as init, or pin all three CodeQL steps to v4.37.3.
