Potential fix for https://github.com/infrawatch/smart-gateway-operator/security/code-scanning/4

To fix the problem, explicitly define a permissions block that grants only the minimal required access for this workflow. Since all jobs simply check out code, install tools, and run local commands with no apparent need to push changes, modify issues, or manage PRs, the minimal practical permissions are contents: read. Defining this at the top level of the workflow ensures all jobs inherit it, unless they later override it.

Concretely:

  • In .github/workflows/main.yml, add a permissions: section near the top (after name: CI and before on: push or just after on:) specifying contents: read.
  • This does not change any behavior for the existing steps, since all only require read access to the repository’s contents via actions/checkout.
  • No new imports, methods, or external dependencies are needed; this is purely a YAML configuration change.

We only need to edit .github/workflows/main.yml, adding a small block and keeping the rest of the file intact.
