The analyze-javascript (macos-14-xlarge) jobs in the codeql workflow are now cancelled with "The configuration 'macos-14-arm64-us-xl' is not supported". These are required checks, so every PR in the merge queue is failing. This PR removes macos-14-xlarge without a replacement, since many other PR checks already run on macOS 26. A follow-up PR will look at the overall PR check coverage across runner images.

Risk assessment

For internal use only. Please select the risk level of this change:

• Low risk: Changes are fully under feature flags, or have been fully tested and validated in pre-production environments and are highly observable, or are documentation or test only.

Which use cases does this change impact?

Environments:

• Testing/None - This change does not impact any CodeQL workflows in production.

How did/will you validate this change?

• End-to-end tests - I am depending on PR checks (i.e. tests in pr-checks).

If something goes wrong after this change is released, what are the mitigation and rollback strategies?

• Development/testing only - This change cannot cause any failures in production.

How will you know if something goes wrong after this change is released?

• Other - CI failures.

Are there any special considerations for merging or releasing this change?

• Special considerations - This PR removes two required checks, so the required checks need to be updated with pr-checks/sync-checks.ts before it can merge. The release branches will pick up the workflow change in the next release, as they did for Remove macos-13 from codeql workflow #3274.

Merge / deployment checklist

• Confirm this change is backwards compatible with existing workflows.
• Consider adding a changelog entry for this change.
• Confirm the readme and docs have been updated if necessary.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Although the workflow diff is straightforward, safe merging requires removing both macos-14 matrix contexts from external branch-protection required checks, which cannot be verified from the checked-in files.

No open issues 🎉

Changes:

• Removes macos-14-xlarge from the analyze-javascript operating-system matrix.
• Retains Ubuntu, Windows, and macos-15-xlarge coverage.
• Required-check configuration must be synchronized separately.

Should we add macos-26?

Should we add macos-26?

I plan to rework the checks so we make sure each runner image is tested, but not necessarily on the JS analysis for this repo. I'll do that in a separate PR though so we can unblock CI faster.

(Note for instance that Swift analysis on macos-26 is already covered by this check: https://github.com/github/codeql-action/actions/runs/42269788821/job/128071063024?pr=4309)
