The previous two commits removed the `ProcessCanceledException` and `PsiTreeUtil` references from KDoc-section parsing, but the internal extractor build then failed on `unresolved reference 'PsiElement'`: the hand-written tree walk named `com.intellij.psi.PsiElement` (and its `firstChild`/`nextSibling`). The root cause is that the LighterAST/K2 comment extractor is compiled against a curated classpath that deliberately excludes `com.intellij.psi.*`. It exposes only the `com.intellij.lang` LighterAST API (`LighterASTNode`, `FlyweightCapableTreeStructure`) plus the Kotlin PSI classes (`org.jetbrains.kotlin.psi.*`, `...kdoc.psi.*`). That is why `KtPsiFactory`, `KtFile`, `KDoc` and `getAllSections` all resolve while any `com.intellij.psi` reference does not. The full standalone builds bundle the whole classpath, so they never caught this. Locate the parsed KDoc through the Kotlin PSI API instead: the KDoc attaches to the throwaway `val __codeql_kdoc__` as its `docComment`, so `ktFile.declarations.firstOrNull()?.docComment` retrieves it using only `org.jetbrains.kotlin.psi` types (`KtCommonFile.getDeclarations`, `KtDeclaration.getDocComment`). No `com.intellij.psi` symbol remains in the file's code. Behaviour is unchanged: the parsed input is a single KDoc comment followed by one declaration, so its `docComment` is exactly the KDoc the old descendant search returned. No expected-output changes. Verified the standalone extractor builds for 1.9.0-Beta and 2.4.0. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
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.

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.
