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: codeql/hypatia runs die with startup_failure,
zero jobs, no API error text. Full investigation: nexia-list#100.
Rollback to the v4.38.0 commit b96794f015dfd88f77b49b1c93e0fa7110f94c63
(green on deed-ecosystem; satisfies repo SHA-pin policy). actions.lock
re-keyed where present; dependabot held unconditionally (versions-scoped
ignores were bypassed in SHA form - nexia-list#101).

Canonical fix: hyperpolymath/standards#973.
