Adds a workflow-level permissions: contents: read block. The job here only checks out the repository and runs its tests / validation; no GitHub API call beyond the initial checkout is needed.

CVE-2025-30066 (the March 2025 tj-actions/changed-files supply-chain compromise) is the canonical motivation: a tampered third-party action exfiltrated GITHUB_TOKEN from workflow logs and the leaked token retained whatever scope was issued at the workflow level. Per-workflow caps bound that runtime authority irrespective of repo or org default, give drift protection if the default ever widens, and register with OpenSSF Scorecard's Token-Permissions check (which only credits explicit per-workflow declarations).

YAML validated locally with yaml.safe_load.
