In general, the fix is to explicitly define a permissions block for the workflow (or specific jobs) that grants only the minimal required scopes to GITHUB_TOKEN. For a stub job that only runs a shell echo command and does not interact with the GitHub API or repository contents, the safest and most accurate configuration is to fully disable GITHUB_TOKEN by setting permissions: {} at the workflow level.

Concretely, in .github/workflows/release-appkit.yaml, add a permissions: {} block near the top of the workflow (after the name: line and before on:) so that it applies to all jobs. This ensures that the stub job has no token permissions at all, matching its current behavior and not changing any existing functionality. No imports or additional definitions are needed because this is a YAML configuration change only.

In general, the fix is to explicitly define a permissions block for the workflow or for the specific job, setting the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimal required permissions. Since this stub job does not interact with GitHub APIs at all, we can safely set permissions: contents: read at the workflow level, which is the typical minimal baseline and satisfies the CodeQL recommendation while preserving behavior.

The best way to fix this without changing functionality is to add a workflow-level permissions section just after the name field (around line 4), before the on: block. This ensures all jobs in this workflow default to these restricted permissions. Concretely, in .github/workflows/release-pos.yaml, insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the existing name: Release Mobile POS line and the on: block. No additional imports, methods, or other definitions are needed, as this is purely a YAML configuration change to the GitHub Actions workflow.

In general, the fix is to explicitly specify permissions for the workflow or each job so that the GITHUB_TOKEN is restricted to the minimum needed (or fully disabled) rather than inheriting potentially broad repository defaults.

For this specific stub workflow, the job only prints a message and does not interact with the GitHub API, so the safest and least-privileged configuration is to set permissions: {} at the workflow (top) level. This disables all default permissions for GITHUB_TOKEN for all jobs in this workflow. Concretely, in .github/workflows/release-walletkit.yaml, add a permissions: {} block near the top-level metadata (e.g., after the name: line and before the on: block). No other functionality changes are required and no additional imports or methods are needed, since this is pure YAML configuration.
