+A new CodeQL CLI release is available upstream: **v$LATEST_VERSION** ([binary]($BINARY_URL), [bundle]($BUNDLE_URL)).
+
+This repo is currently pinned to **v$CURRENT_VERSION** in [\`.codeqlversion\`](../blob/main/.codeqlversion).
+
+Updating is a manual process today (see [CONTRIBUTING.md § Keeping CodeQL versions current](../blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#keeping-codeql-versions-current)):
+
+- [ ] Update \`.codeqlversion\` to \`$LATEST_VERSION\`.
+- [ ] Run \`codeql pack upgrade <dir>\` for each pack directory to refresh its \`codeql-pack.lock.yml\`.
+- [ ] Fix any compilation/test errors caused by upstream API changes (usually the hardest part - see [#124](https://github.com/GitHubSecurityLab/CodeQL-Community-Packs/pull/124) for an example of what this can involve).
+- [ ] Bump the \`version:\` field of every pack that changed, so \`publish.yml\` actually publishes the update once merged.
+- [ ] Update the "Supported CodeQL versions" table in CONTRIBUTING.md.
+
+This issue was opened automatically by [\`detect-codeql-release.yml\`](../blob/main/.github/workflows/detect-codeql-release.yml). If you're not picking this up right away, feel free to leave it open as a tracker - a duplicate won't be filed while this stays open.
