The best way to fix the problem is to explicitly specify the least permissions required for the job by adding a
permissionsblock to the workflow. Since the job only checks out code and builds a Docker image (no steps that interact with PRs, issues, or write to the repository), the minimal permission needed iscontents: read. This should be set either at the workflow root (to apply to all jobs unless overridden) or to each job that doesn't already specify permissions.The required edit is to add the following at the root level, underneath the
name:and before theon:block in.github/workflows/arm64-docker-image.yml:This requires no additional imports, definitions, or further changes.
