To fix the problem, explicitly define a
permissionsblock 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 arecontents: read. Defining this at the top level of the workflow ensures all jobs inherit it, unless they later override it.Concretely:
.github/workflows/main.yml, add apermissions:section near the top (aftername: CIand beforeon: pushor just afteron:) specifyingcontents: read.actions/checkout.We only need to edit
.github/workflows/main.yml, adding a small block and keeping the rest of the file intact.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
