GitHub Actions profile is not selected

I am facing is related to language detection / quality profile selection.

Since I am scanning GitHub Actions workflow files under:

**/.github/workflows/**

I expected SonarQube to detect these files as GitHub Actions and apply the GitHub Actions Quality Profile.

However, in my project, SonarQube is selecting/showing the YAML Quality Profile instead of the GitHub Actions Quality Profile.

My scanner command includes:

-Dsonar.sources="pipeline-scan-workspace"
-Dsonar.inclusions="**/.github/workflows/**/*.yml,**/.github/workflows/**/*.yaml,**/actions.yml,**/actions.yaml"
-Dsonar.githubactions.activate=true

The collected file structure is like this:

pipeline-scan-workspace/
  org-a/
    repo-a/
      .github/
        workflows/
          build.yml
          deploy.yml

  org-b/
    repo-b/
      .github/
        workflows/
          ci.yml

Questions:

  1. Why is SonarQube selecting the YAML Quality Profile instead of the GitHub Actions Quality Profile for files under .github/workflows?
  2. Does SonarQube detect GitHub Actions language when sonar.sources points to a parent workspace folder like pipeline-scan-workspace?
  3. Is the GitHub Actions language detection based on the full file path, or does it require the project root itself to contain .github/workflows directly?
  4. Does using sonar.inclusions with **/.github/workflows/**/*.yml affect whether files are classified as GitHub Actions or YAML?
  5. Is there any scanner property to force GitHub Actions language detection instead of YAML?
  6. Is -Dsonar.githubactions.activate=true enough, or is there any additional configuration needed in SonarQube?
  7. Could this be the reason why duplication is also showing 0.0%?

Expected behavior:

.github/workflows/*.yml → GitHub Actions language → GitHub Actions Quality Profile

Actual behavior:

.github/workflows/*.yml → YAML language → YAML Quality Profile

Could you please confirm the correct configuration to make SonarQube detect these files as GitHub Actions instead of generic YAML?
