Copilot e68f2fd717 Python: add new shared-CFG-backed control flow graph
Preparatory refactor for the shared-CFG dataflow migration. Adds the
new Python CFG library additively, without changing any production
behaviour.

Library additions:

- semmle.python.controlflow.internal.AstNodeImpl — mediates between
  the Python AST and the shared codeql.controlflow.ControlFlowGraph
  signature. Wraps Python's Stmt/Expr/Scope/Pattern and adds two
  synthetic kinds of node (BlockStmt for body slots, intermediate
  nodes for multi-operand boolean expressions).

- semmle.python.controlflow.internal.Cfg — public facade
  re-exposing the same API surface as semmle/python/Flow.qll
  (ControlFlowNode, CallNode, BasicBlock, NameNode, DefinitionNode,
  CompareNode, ...), backed by the shared CFG.

- lib/printCfgNew.ql — debug/visualisation query for the new CFG.

- consistency-queries/CfgConsistency.ql — consistency query running
  the shared CFG's standard checks against Python.

Shared library:

- shared.controlflow.ControlFlowGraph — adds two defaulted
  getWhileElse / getForeachElse predicates to AstSig so Python can
  model while-else / for-else (no behavioural change for other
  languages).

Test additions:

- ControlFlow/bindings/* — annotation-driven SSA-binding tests for
  the new CFG (annassign, compound, comprehension, decorated,
  except_handler, imports, match_pattern, parameters, simple,
  type_params, walrus_starred, with_stmt, dead_under_no_raise).

- ControlFlow/store-load/* — basic store/load coverage.

- ControlFlow/evaluation-order/NewCfg*.ql — mirrors of the existing
  OldCfg evaluation-order self-validation suite, run against the
  new CFG via NewCfgImpl.qll.

- Minor extensions to existing test_if.py / test_boolean.py +
  cosmetic .expected churn on a handful of OldCfg tests.

No dataflow, SSA, or production query is migrated yet — that lands in
follow-up PRs. The new CFG library has zero callers in lib/ and src/.

Verified by:
- All lib + src + consistency-queries compile clean (367 queries).
- All 56 ControlFlow library-tests pass.
- All 474 dataflow + PointsTo library-tests + consistency tests pass.
- syntax_error/CONSISTENCY/CfgConsistency passes.

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.
