Preparatory refactor for the shared-CFG dataflow migration. Adds the new Python SSA adapter additively, without changing any production behaviour. Library additions: - semmle.python.dataflow.new.internal.SsaImpl — Python SSA implementation built on the new (shared) CFG. Mirrors the Java SSA adapter (java/ql/lib/semmle/code/java/dataflow/internal/SsaImpl.qll): an InputSig is defined in terms of positional (BasicBlock, int) variable references, and the shared codeql.ssa.Ssa::Make<Location, Cfg, Input> module is then instantiated. SourceVariable is the AST-level Py::Variable. Variable references are looked up via the new CFG facade's NameNode.defines/uses/deletes predicates (added in the preceding PR), which themselves are one-line bridges to AST-level Name.defines/uses/deletes. Implicit-entry definitions are inserted for non-local/global/builtin reads, captured variables, and (when needed) parameters. Test additions: - library-tests/dataflow-new-ssa/ — exercises the new SSA over a representative test corpus and checks expected def/use chains. - library-tests/dataflow-new-ssa-vs-legacy/ — runs both new SSA and legacy ESSA over the same corpus and diffs the results, so any semantic divergence shows up as a test failure. Production impact: None. The new SSA adapter has zero callers in lib/ and src/ — the legacy ESSA SSA (semmle/python/essa/*) remains the default. The dataflow library is not migrated yet; that lands in a follow-up PR. Verified by: - All 367 lib + src + consistency-queries compile clean. - All 641 ControlFlow + PointsTo + dataflow + essa + consistency library-tests pass. - Both new dataflow-new-ssa[/vs-legacy] test packs pass.

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.
Tasks
