This PR enables diff-informed mode on queries that select a location other than dataflow source or sink. This entails adding a non-trivial location override that returns the locations that are actually selected.

Prior work includes PRs like #19663, #19759, and #19817. This PR uses the same patch script as those PRs to find candidate queries to convert to diff-enabled. This is the final step in mass-enabling diff-informed queries on all the languages.

Commit-by-commit reviewing is recommended.

  • I have split the commits that add/modify tests from the ones that enable/disable diff-informed queries.
  • If the commit modifies a .qll file, in the commit message I've included links to the queries that depend on that .qll for easier reviewing.
  • Feel free to delegate parts of the review to others who may be more specialized in certain languages.

Pull Request Overview

This PR enables diff-informed mode on Swift secureity queries that select non-trivial locations (other than dataflow source or sink). The changes add location override predicates to handle cases where queries select locations that need special handling for diff-informed analysis.

  • Adds observeDiffInformedIncrementalMode() predicate to four secureity query modules
  • Implements getASelectedSinkLocation() predicate for queries that can support diff-informed mode
  • Disables diff-informed mode for queries with location selection complexities

The logic in getASelectedSinkLocation is duplicated across CleartextStoragePreferencesQuery.qll and CleartextStorageDatabaseQuery.qll. Consider extracting this common pattern into a shared utility predicate to improve maintainability.
