Can CodeQL default setup support workflow_run webhook?

Bug

Body

We recently started using the CodeQL default setup. To monitor the execution time of the GitHub Actions workflow run by the CodeQL default setup, we planned to analyze events triggered by the workflow_run webhook (and workflow_job). However, workflow events triggered by the CodeQL default setup cannot be received via the webhook. This appears to be a bug. Are there any plans to address this issue?

@charisk I think this may be a question for your team?

@peaceiris I've tried this and it works for me. I created a repo and enabled Code Scanning with CodeQL default setup. I then created a webhook and triggered a run by pushing to the repo. I received workflow_run events.

Is there anything else in your set up that might be causing issues?

I found the webhook log, which was likely sent dynamically by CodeQL, in the Recent Deliveries section. It seems the expected webhook may indeed have been sent. We'll investigate whether there are any issues on our end. Thank you!

We discovered the event for the CodeQL default setup. We had assumed that the CodeQL jobs running on pull requests or the default branch could be triggered by the pull_request or push events. However, it turned out that they can actually be received through the dynamic event.

Thanks.
