Description

I'm not sure if this is a duplicate of #12349, but when `codeql_checker` runs inside Copilot cloud sessions, it never succeeds. Every time it reports "Operation cancelled due to timeout. Do not re-run the codeql_checker tool because it will not complete successfully."

The repository I've experienced this on is private & primarily Ruby (on Rails). I never actually configured CodeQL to run on this repo as its own action, so it's only happening within the context of a Copilot cloud session, and therefor I cannot investigate logs specific to the CodeQL run. Let me know if there are ways to further debug or investigate why it times out. Otherwise it would be nice to know if I can turn off these CodeQL runs within Copilot to avoid the wasted resources.
