Subject: [PATCH 01/16] codeql: Improve unclosed resources query and enable
 test file analysis

Enhance the unclosed-resources.ql query to recognize additional cleanup
patterns and reduce false positives:

- Add support for testing.TB.Cleanup() pattern used in test files
- Handle Close() calls on variables even when dataflow doesn't track
  through embedded fields (e.g., st.Close() where st contains embedded
  storage.ObjectStorage)
- Support both := (DefineStmt) and = (AssignStmt) variable assignments
- Recognize factory functions returning EncodedObjectStorer interface
- Exclude memory.NewStorage() which doesn't need closing

Configure CI workflow and document local usage to include test files
during CodeQL database creation by setting the environment variable
CODEQL_EXTRACTOR_GO_OPTION_EXTRACT_TESTS=true. Without this setting,
the Go extractor excludes *_test.go files by default.

The query now produces zero false positives on the fixed codebase while
still catching all real resource leaks including those in test files.

Results:
- fix-remote-test-file-handles branch: 0 issues (previously had false
  positives from testing.Cleanup patterns)
- unfixed main branch: 68 issues detected including all original leaks

 ## Running the queries
 
 ### Using CodeQL CLI
 
+To include test files in the analysis (recommended):
+
 ```bash
-codeql database create /tmp/go-git-db --language=go --source-root=/path/to/go-git
+CODEQL_EXTRACTOR_GO_OPTION_EXTRACT_TESTS=true \
+  codeql database create /tmp/go-git-db --language=go --source-root=/path/to/go-git
 codeql query run codeql/queries/unclosed-resources.ql --database=/tmp/go-git-db
 ```
 
+Without the environment variable, `*_test.go` files are excluded by default.
+
 ### Using GitHub Actions
 
-The queries run automatically via the CodeQL workflow on pull requests.

Subject: [PATCH 02/16] codeql: Improve unclosed-resources query with precise
 tracking

Enhanced the unclosed-resources CodeQL query to eliminate false positives
while maintaining full leak detection coverage. Replaced conservative
heuristics with precise AST-based tracking of cleanup patterns.

Key improvements:
- Factory function tracking: detect leaks from functions returning Repository/Storage
- Tuple assignment support: r, err := git.Clone(...) patterns
- Type assertion detection: defer func() { if c, ok := st.(io.Closer); ok { c.Close() } }()
- Wrapper pattern exclusion: resources passed to properly-closed wrappers
- Type conversion support: temporal := storage.Storer(filesystem.NewStorage(...))
- Returned callback detection: cleanup functions returned to caller
- Memory-only factory filtering: exclude factories that only create memory storage

Results:
- Baseline (before fixes): 108 real leaks detected
- Fix branch (after fixes): 0 false positives
- 100% precision with full coverage

The query now uses layered detection:
1. Direct Close() via dataflow
2. defer patterns matched by variable name
3. Type assertion cleanup patterns
4. testing.TB.Cleanup() patterns
5. Wrapper ownership transfer
6. Returned callback cleanup

Updated documentation to reflect the new precise tracking approach.

Subject: [PATCH 03/16] codeql: Address PR review comments

Fix precision issues in cleanup detection predicates:
- factoryCallCreatesOnlyMemoryStorage: Use target binding instead of name matching
- hasTestingCleanupWithClose: Match specific resource variable and handle type assertions
- isClosedViaReturnedCallback: Verify Close() is called and handle type assertions
- hasDeferWithTypeAssertion: Verify Close() is called on asserted value

Update README:
- Clarify "struct fields" to "struct literals"
- Fix workflow trigger description (pushes to main, not PRs)

Subject: [PATCH 04/16] codeql: Add error path detection to unclosed-resources
 query

Exclude test cases that expect errors by detecting error assertions following
resource creation. This filters out legitimate test patterns like:
  r, err := Open(memory.NewStorage(), nil)
  require.Error(t, err)  // Expects the call to fail

Detects common error assertion methods:
- Error, ErrorIs, ErrorAs, ErrorContains
- testing.Fatal, testing.Fatalf

Matches the error variable from tuple assignments to assertions using basic
line-based ordering heuristics.

Subject: [PATCH 05/16] codeql: Improve false positive detection in
 unclosed-resources query

Enhance the query to handle more cleanup patterns and reduce false positives:

- Add NotNil to error assertion methods for error path detection
- Add dataflow-based cleanup detection for indirect patterns (e.g., resource assigned to struct field, then copied to local var for cleanup)
- Support var declarations in wrapper detection (var x Type = NewStorage(...))
- Handle inline resource arguments (r := Open(NewStorage(...), ...))

These improvements address cases where resources are properly closed but the query couldn't detect the cleanup due to indirect assignments or inline argument passing.

Subject: [PATCH 06/16] codeql: Fix ValueSpec method usage in
 unclosed-resources query

Use getName(0) instead of getNameExpr() for ValueSpec, as getNameExpr() is
not a valid method on Decls::ValueSpec in the CodeQL Go library.

Also fixed the logic structure to properly group the variable name
extraction cases.

Subject: [PATCH 07/16] codeql: Add struct field cleanup pattern detection

Handle the pattern where a resource is assigned to a struct field, then
copied to a local variable that is closed in a cleanup callback:

  s.Field = Create()
  r := s.Field
  t.Cleanup(func() { r.Close() })

The previous dataflow-based approach didn't work because localFlow doesn't
track through struct field assignments. This adds a syntactic pattern that
matches the field name from creation to cleanup.

Subject: [PATCH 08/16] codeql: Exclude factory functions that return existing
 resources

Add detection for "getter" factory functions that return pre-existing
resources rather than creating new ones. These functions don't create
any storage or repository internally - they just return resources from
maps, struct fields, or parameters.

Example: MapLoader.Load() returns a storage from a map without creating
it, so the caller of Load() is not responsible for closing it.

Add detection for cache-or-create factory functions that create resources
and also register cleanup for them within the factory itself.

Example: NewRepositoryFromPackfile() creates a repository and immediately
registers t.Cleanup() for it before caching and returning it. The caller
doesn't need to close the resource because the factory already registered
cleanup.

- Inline argument detection
- Getter factory exclusion
- Cache-or-create factory exclusion
- Enhanced dataflow tracking for t.Cleanup()

Also added examples for error path tests, cleanup callbacks, and inline
wrapper patterns.

Remove checks for specific type name "Closer" which broke with:
- Dot imports: import . "io" then st.(Closer)
- Custom closer interfaces
- Aliased imports: import iolib "io" then st.(iolib.Closer)

Now accepts any type assertion followed by Close() call, making the query
work with io.Closer, custom interfaces, and all import styles.

Affected predicates:
- hasDeferWithTypeAssertion
- isClosedViaReturnedCallback

notice to inform users when there are more results that can only be
seen in the logs.
