Description

• Added a new GitHub Actions workflow configuration file, codeql.yml, to the .github/workflows/ directory.
• The new workflow uses CodeQL to perform static analysis on the codebase, helping to identify potential security vulnerabilities and code quality issues.
• The workflow is configured to run on push and pull request events to the main and Map branches, as well as on a schedule (every Thursday at 00:29).
• The workflow is set to analyze 'c-cpp', 'javascript-typescript', and 'python' languages.

PR Feedback

💡 General suggestions: The PR is well-structured and the added workflow file follows the standard CodeQL configuration. It would be beneficial to add a brief explanation in the PR description about why these specific languages ('c-cpp', 'javascript-typescript', 'python') were chosen for analysis.

🤖 Code feedback:

suggestion	Consider adding a failure notification mechanism. If the CodeQL analysis fails, it would be helpful to have a notification sent to the maintainers. This can be achieved by adding a step in the workflow that sends an email or a message to a Slack channel when the workflow fails. [medium]

PR Feedback

💡 General suggestions: The PR is well-structured and the addition of the CodeQL workflow is a good practice for maintaining code quality and security. However, it would be beneficial to add some comments in the codeql.yml file explaining the purpose and functionality of each step in the workflow for better maintainability.
