Descripción
**Description of the false positive**
The context is the following: the variable is used inside a lambda and captured by it.
It is not clear to me what the exact cause is. I tried to create a self-contained code sample, but I was not able to trigger the false positive that way, so the sample code relies on AspNetCore, which is the context where I got the warning.
**Code samples or links to source code**
To reproduce, you need a project that depends on AspNetCore, which is possible with a project file like the following: `Sample.csproj`:
```csharp
```
The following is helper code to configure a AspNetCore `WebApplication`:
```csharp
public static class App
{
extension(WebApplication app)
{
public void Configure()
{
string redirectPath = "/app";
app.MapGet("/", () => Results.Redirect(redirectPath));
}
}
}
```
CodeQL complains about the `redirectPath` not being used. The type of the lambda passed to `MapGet` is `Delegate`. An example with self-contained code with a similar setup and the use of a `Delegate` type did not trigger the false positive.
