In general, the fix is to explicitly restrict the
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for thetestjob to the minimum needed. This job only needs to read repository contents (for checkout) and does not need to write anything back to GitHub or access other privileged scopes. Therefore, we should add apermissionsblock under thetestjob withcontents: read.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/releases.yml, inside thejobs.testdefinition, add apermissionssection just underruns-on: macos-latest-large. The block should be:No other functionality needs to change. The
publishjob already has an appropriatepermissionssection and should be left as-is. No imports or additional methods are required since this is purely a workflow configuration change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
