Add `permissions: contents: read` at the workflow level to follow the least-privilege principle. Without an explicit permissions block, workflows run with the default token permissions which include write access to repository contents and other resources.

Summary
Add
permissions: contents: readat the workflow level.Why
Without an explicit
permissionsblock, GitHub Actions workflows run with the default token permissions, which include write access to repository contents, packages, and other resources.Adding
contents: readrestricts the token to read-only access, following the principle of least privilege. This reduces the potential impact if a dependency or action is compromised.Files (1)
