Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes Coding Standards queries that were missed in the previous update after merging GitHub CodeQL#20485, which appears to have changed how guard conditions are handled in the CodeQL library.
- Updates guard condition checks to use the new
valueControlsEdgeAPI instead of the deprecatedgetAChild*()pattern - Adjusts related test expectations to account for the API changes
- Ensures implicit comparison detection properly uses the new guard condition interface

🚨🚨🚨
Reviewer: Confirm that format of shared queries (not the .qll file, the
.ql file that imports it) is valid by running them within VS Code.
Reviewer: Confirm that either a change note is not required or the change note is required and has been added.
Query development review checklist
For PRs that add new queries or modify existing queries, the following checklist should be completed by both the author and reviewer:
Author
As a rule of thumb, predicates specific to the query should take no more than 1 minute, and for simple queries be under 10 seconds. If this is not the case, this should be highlighted and agreed in the code review process.
