Potential fix for https://github.com/codiform/gh-actions-usage/security/code-scanning/1

Add an explicit permissions block to the workflow (or job) with least privilege.
Best fix here: add it at the workflow root so it applies to all jobs unless overridden. For this CI workflow, contents: read is the minimal required permission for checkout and read-only repository operations.

Edit .github/workflows/ci.yml near the top (after name is clear and conventional), adding:

  • permissions:
  • contents: read

No imports, methods, or dependencies are required.

GH flagged that the ci workflow doesn't have permissions and should.
