Potential fix for https://github.com/ELMOURABEA/pharmaintel-api/security/code-scanning/2

To resolve this problem, we need to limit the permissions available to the build job to the minimum required. The build job only needs to check out code and run tests, so contents: read is sufficient. The best way to fix this is to add a permissions block under the build job, specifically before or after runs-on: ubuntu-latest, setting contents: read. No changes are necessary elsewhere, as the publish-gpr job already assigns correct permissions. No new methods, imports, or definitions are needed—just a workflow YAML field update.
