Description
https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/1561#issuecomment-1476674366 indicates that we shouldn’t look at “releases” for CodeQL.
Could you please add a workaround to the GHA version updater that handles github/codeql-action/* specially?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start at the GitHub Actions version updater entry point and trace how it looks up releases for actions. Read the linked CodeQL Action discussion, then make the github/codeql-action/* handling avoid the releases lookup and verify that version updates still work for other actions.
