Taus 97b5a9d828 unified: Stop using the tree-sitter-swift grammar
With the Swift front-end fully switched to swift-syntax, nothing links
the tree-sitter Swift grammar any more. Remove every reference to it;
the vendored crate itself is deleted in the following commit, so that
this one shows only what actually changed.

- Drop `unified/extractor/tree-sitter-swift` as a workspace member, path
  dependency and BUILD.bazel dependency.
- Drop the now-unused `tree-sitter` and `tree-sitter-embedded-template`
  direct dependencies from the extractor (neither is referenced any
  longer; the tree-sitter runtime is still pulled in transitively where
  the shared extractor needs it).
- Rewrite the "Swift Parser" section of `AGENTS.md`, which still pointed
  at `grammar.js` and `node-types.yml`, to describe `swift-syntax-parse`
  and the hand-maintained `swift_node_types.yml`, and note that the
  tests need the parser binary.

The mapping's comments also explained many rules by how the tree-sitter
path had behaved. That is now of historical interest only, so each is
restated in terms of swift-syntax and the target AST alone — no rule
changes, and the corpus is unaffected. Two were more than stylistic:

- The `subscriptCallExpr` rule and its corpus case said the parser
  reports `xs[0]` and `xs(0)` identically. swift-syntax distinguishes
  them, so the collapse to `call_expr` is now purely ours, and a
  dedicated `subscript_expr` would need only a schema addition and a
  remap.
- `discardAssignmentExpr` mapped to `name_expr` "because tree-sitter
  treated `_` as a name". The standing reason is that the target AST has
  no expression-level discard — only `ignore_pattern`, which is a
  pattern.

References to tree-sitter's *node model* are kept: yeast is built on it,
so `adapter.rs` still explains named/anonymous nodes, `extra` tokens and
byte-offset conventions in those terms.

CodeQL

This open source repository contains the standard CodeQL libraries and queries that power GitHub Advanced Security and the other application security products that GitHub makes available to its customers worldwide.

How do I learn CodeQL and run queries?

There is extensive documentation about the CodeQL language, writing CodeQL using the CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code and using the CodeQL CLI.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to our standard library and standard checks. Do you have an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Before you do, though, please take the time to read our contributing guidelines. You can also consult our style guides to learn how to format your code for consistency and clarity, how to write query metadata, and how to write query help documentation for your query.

For information on contributing to CodeQL documentation, see the "contributing guide" for docs.

License

The CodeQL CLI (including the CodeQL engine) is hosted in a different repository and is licensed separately. If you'd like to use the CodeQL CLI to analyze closed-source code, you will need a separate commercial license; please contact us for further help.

Visual Studio Code integration

If you use Visual Studio Code to work in this repository, there are a few integration features to make development easier.

CodeQL for Visual Studio Code

You can install the CodeQL for Visual Studio Code extension to get syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and code navigation for the QL language, as well as unit test support for testing CodeQL libraries and queries.

Tasks

The .vscode/tasks.json file defines custom tasks specific to working in this repository. To invoke one of these tasks, select the Terminal | Run Task... menu option, and then select the desired task from the dropdown. You can also invoke the Tasks: Run Task command from the command palette.
