The CodeQL action decides which languages to analyse based on the file extensions present in a repo. However, if it analyses a language and finds no analysable code, it will error https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/troubleshooting-code-scanning/no-source-code-seen-during-build This change will allow us to specify which languages should be analysed so that we can exclude a language for which there's no analysable code This does mean that if analysable code is later added to a repo where its language has been ignored, we wouldn't be analysing it. That doesn't feel great, but this seems to be a limitation of CodeQL The following PR exhibited this error: alphagov/govuk-content-api-docs#204. We have .js files in that repo but they only contain (magic) comments. This wasn't an issue with older versions of CodeQL. We're currently using 2.23.5 - the last merged PR used 2.23.2 and passed the CodeQL checks: alphagov/govuk-content-api-docs#203

This brings in support for using Google Tag Manager for Google Analytics 4
This config setting is used by the tech docs gem to add GA4 usage tracking via the Google Tag Manager approach when users consent
This isn't Content API - it's documentation for Content API. The new cookie banner would read "Cookies on Content API" without this change, which is a little confusing
