submit-repos workflow token permissions

Pull request overview
Adds an explicit least-privilege permissions block to the submit-repos.yml workflow to address a code scanning alert flagging missing workflow token permissions. Repository-modifying operations continue to use a separate GitHub App token created within the job, so behavior is unchanged.
Changes:
- Added root-level
permissions: contents: readto.github/workflows/submit-repos.yml.
