Potential fix for https://github.com/MiguelElGallo/mpzsql/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the issue, add a permissions block to the workflow file to explicitly set the minimum required permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN. Since this workflow primarily checks out code, installs dependencies, runs tests, and uploads coverage to Codecov (an external service), it typically only requires contents: read permission. This permission setting should be added at the workflow or job level. The minimal fix is to add permissions: contents: read at the top level, just after the name: and before the on: block, so it applies to all jobs. No additional dependencies or method changes are required.

[nitpick] The permissions block should be placed after the 'name' field according to GitHub Actions best practices. Move the permissions block to appear after line 3 (name: Tests) for better workflow organization.
