CI: Bump the github-actions group with 4 updates

[dependabot]

Bumps the github-actions group with 4 updates: cross-platform-actions/action, github/codeql-action/init, github/codeql-action/analyze and signpath/github-action-submit-signing-request.

Updates cross-platform-actions/action from 1.3.0 to 1.4.0

Release notes

Sourced from cross-platform-actions/action's releases.

Cross Platform Action 1.4.0

Added

• Add support for FreeBSD on RISC-V 64 (riscv64) (#36)
• Add support for NetBSD on VAX, running on the SIMH simulator
• Add support for NetBSD 11.0 (#154)

Changed

• OpenBSD on ARM64 now boots with the same EDK II UEFI firmware (uefi.fd) as every other ARM64 guest, instead of a separate Linaro UEFI build. The QEMU machine type for OpenBSD on ARM64 is now virt,acpi=off, which makes the kernel fall back to the device tree instead of hanging during ACPI attach. This removes the dependency on the Linaro release server, which no longer exists

Fixed

• Don't log the Tearing down VM group when shutdown_vm is false, since the VM is not being torn down in that case (#109)
• The "Start VM" step could keep running for hours when the VM failed to boot (#158). Waiting for the VM to become ready is now bounded by an actual wall clock timeout, instead of by a number of connection attempts, and a single SSH connection attempt is bounded by ConnectTimeout.
• The post job step now reports when the console log of the VM is missing or empty, instead of silently printing nothing (#158)
• A reboot of a guest that dies instead of rebooting now fails after roughly 20 seconds, instead of after 13 minutes. The SSH session that issues the reboot is bounded by ServerAliveInterval, so it no longer blocks for the full TCP retransmission time, and waiting for the VM to come back up is given up on as soon as the guest announces a kernel panic on its serial console
• Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) is no longer exposed to the guests on x86-64, so which runner a job happens to get no longer decides whether the VM boots (#158). Kernels released before AMX existed fault as soon as userland starts, which affected NetBSD 9.4 and 10.1 and FreeBSD 12.4 on the runners that have it

[Unreleased]

Changed

• NetBSD images download around 45% smaller -- 11.0 x86-64 goes from 497 MiB to 268 MiB -- which is most of what a NetBSD job spends on setup (#151)
• Every guest becomes usable sooner, by up to 8 seconds, because the action no longer waits on a readiness probe it sent before the guest was listening
• NetBSD guests are logged into without a credential, so no SSH key is generated and no resources disk is built to carry one. A custom image supplied through image_url still gets both, since it may expect them

Added

• A variant input, selecting a named configuration of a platform. Defaults to default, which boots exactly as before, so no existing workflow changes. See Variants
• The microvm variant for NetBSD on x86-64, which reaches a usable guest in roughly half the time. It is opt-in because it changes the hardware the guest sees: the root disk becomes ld0 rather than sd0, there is no PCI bus to inspect, and uname -v reports a MICROVM kernel. Asking for it where it cannot be booted is an error, not a slow boot
• Log a breakdown of how long each phase of setting up the VM took, together with how long the VM took to become reachable over SSH

Fixed

• 5-level paging (LA57) is no longer exposed to the guests on x86-64 (#158). FreeBSD 13.0 enables 5-level paging whenever the CPU reports it and panics in the trampoline that switches to it, so every job that landed on an Intel runner from Ice Lake onwards failed to boot
• STIBP always-on mode is no longer exposed to the guests on x86-64 (#158). Some of the AMD runners report it without the STIBP and IBRS bits that normally come with it, which made DragonFly BSD write IA32_SPEC_CTRL and take a general protection fault while booting

Security

• The guest's SSH port is only forwarded to the runner's loopback address. It was previously bound to every interface, making the guest reachable from anything that could reach the runner

[1.4.0] - 2026-08-10

[UNRELEASED]

No user facing changes.

4.37.8 - 21 Aug 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.7 - 13 Aug 2026

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

4.37.6 - 04 Aug 2026

• Changed the default filepath for the new remote file address format that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 / 3.37.0 to .github/codeql-config.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #4070

4.37.5 - 03 Aug 2026

• Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026

• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository property. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the value to toolcache to always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided for tools in the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts with !. #4037
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2. #4051

4.37.3 - 22 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026

• The new address format for the config-file input that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, the remote= prefix can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote file. All previous input formats continue to be accepted as well. #4023
• The CodeQL Action can now make use of configured private registries in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes out to everyone in July. #4007

4.37.1 - 16 Jul 2026

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.20.6 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 1 July 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.16, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #3956
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.1. #4019

4.37.0 - 08 Jul 2026

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.0. #3995
• In addition to the existing input format, the config-file input for the codeql-action/init step will soon support a new [owner/]repo[@ref][:path] format. All components except the repository name are optional. If omitted, owner defaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for, ref to main, and path to .github/codeql-action.yaml. Support for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will only be enabled over the coming weeks. #3973
