+# CodeQL analysis for Continuous SDL / S360 compliance.
+# The Go code lives under plugins/ (module github.com/tensorworks/directx-device-plugins/plugins)
+# and is Windows-only (//go:build windows), so autobuild on ubuntu (GOOS=linux)
+# finds no packages. We use build-mode: manual and cross-compile with
+# GOOS=windows so CodeQL can trace the build and extract the Windows packages.
