Summary
actions/checkoutpaths before comparing them with local script and action paths../, trailing-slash, nested, local-action, opposite-branch, andworkflow_runcases.Root cause
Local script and action paths use the shared
GITHUB_WORKSPACE/representation, while explicit checkout paths were compared verbatim. Equivalent paths therefore failed the critical-query containment check.Reproduction: 1sgtpepper/codeql-actions-checkout-path-repro#2.
