Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): codeql-action v4.38.1 -> v4.38.0 SHA pin +
 dependabot hold

v4.38.1 (tag AND commit SHA 1c5b675) fails GitHub workflow-startup
validation estate-wide (startup_failure, zero jobs). Investigation:
nexia-list#100. Rollback to v4.38.0 commit
b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63; actions.lock re-keyed where
present; dependabot held unconditionally. Canonical: standards#973.
