Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 1: Workflow does not contain permissions

[suradet-ps]

Potential fix for https://github.com/pharmacist-sabot/rxdevnotes/security/code-scanning/1

In general, this issue is fixed by explicitly setting the permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimum required. Since this CI workflow only checks out code, installs dependencies, lints, type-checks, and builds, it does not need to write to the repository or modify issues/PRs. Therefore contents: read is sufficient.

The safest and simplest fix is to add a permissions block at the top workflow level (between on: and concurrency:) so it applies to all jobs that don’t override it. Concretely, in .github/workflows/ci.yml after the on: section and before concurrency:, insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

No imports or additional definitions are needed, as this is just YAML configuration. Existing functionality is unchanged because none of the steps rely on write permissions.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Poem

🐰 A workflow gets its keys so bright,
With read permissions held just right,
No chaos in concurrency's flow,
Just trusted access, safe and slow!
The CI rabbit hops with glee. ✨

9-10: Excellent security improvement!

This correctly implements the principle of least privilege by explicitly granting only contents: read permission. The workflow's operations (checkout, dependency installation, linting, type-checking, and building) require only read access, making this the appropriate permission level.
