+      [Experimental, for internal testing only] The build mode that will be used to analyze the language.
+      This input is only available in single-language analyses.
+
+      Available build modes will differ based on the language being analyzed. One of: 
+
+      - none:      The database will be created without building the source code.
+                   Available for all interpreted languages and some compiled languages.
+      - autobuild: The database will be created by attempting to automatically build the source code.
+                   To use this build mode, ensure that your workflow calls the `autobuild` action
+                   between the `init` and `analyze` steps.
+                   Available for all compiled languages.
+      - manual:    The database will be created by building the source code using a manually specified
+                   build command. To use this build mode, specify manual build steps in your workflow
+                   between the `init` and `analyze` steps. Available for all compiled languages.
