Description
I am adding CodeQL checks to our repository for it to run when code is pushed to our branch. The code ql analyze task never finishes and it always stuck until the task fails at this step "Starting evaluation of codeql/csharp-queries/Telemetry/UnsupportedExternalAPIs.ql." of running "AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Analyze@1" task in an AzureDevOps Pipeline.
Here is my yaml file's content:
```
trigger:
- main
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
variables:
#advancedsecurity.codeql.querysuite: security-extended
#advancedsecurity.submittoadvancedsecurity: true
timeoutInMinutes: 360
steps:
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Init@1
inputs:
languages: 'csharp'
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Autobuild@1
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Dependency-Scanning@1
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Analyze@1
```

Research direction
Start with the Azure DevOps YAML in the issue and the logs from AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Init@1, AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Autobuild@1, and AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Analyze@1, focusing on the UnsupportedExternalAPIs.ql evaluation step. Reproduce the stalled C# analysis if possible; done means identifying a confirmed cause and documenting a working resolution or the missing information needed to diagnose it.
