Potential fix for https://github.com/LukeLarge/contracts/security/code-scanning/2884
To fix this issue, we need to add a
permissionsblock that explicitly sets the GitHub token permissions to the minimum required. In this case, the workflow steps only check out code and run local commands (configure,make, etc.), with no evidence of requiring write access (such as creating PRs, releasing packages, or modifying repo contents). The optimal minimal permission is thus justcontents: read. This block can be added either at the top level (applies to all jobs) or under thebuildjob. Since there is a single job and the recommendation highlights placing it at the root when possible, we should add it at the root, directly after thename:line for clarity and inheritance.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
