Consider testing CodeQL also against Kotlin EA versions #22219
For some time now, all projects using Kotlin and CodeQL face the following situation:
A new Kotlin version is released
Dependabot, Renovate, or equivalent creates a PR to upgrade Kotlin
The PR fails as CodeQL doesn't support the new version yet
After some weeks, a CodeQL release is out for that version, but a new Kotlin version is also released briefly after, which basically restarts the process from step 1
Just by looking at the timeline of some of these issues, it should be visible how many public projects keep the Kotlin upgrade on hold due to the CodeQL compatibility.
I understand testing against EA versions won't necessarily mean anticipating the necessary changes, but I wonder if something relatively cheap could be achieved with a GitHub Actions matrix to at least bring awareness to the process.
I would very much agree here. It is TOO late to look at released versions. JetBrains allows a long period of time to adopt to EA versions. CodeQL is the only tool in our toolchain that spoils the fun of new Kotlin releases - not once, but always.

The long-term solution is likely what has been mentioned at #22210 (comment).
