Potential fix for https://github.com/davep/ng2web/security/code-scanning/1

In general, the problem is fixed by explicitly defining a permissions block either at the workflow root (applies to all jobs) or on the specific job, granting only the minimal scopes required. For this style-and-lint workflow, none of the steps require write access to the repository or to issues/PRs; they only need to read the code, so contents: read is sufficient.

The least intrusive, clear fix is to add a permissions block at the workflow root (top level, alongside name and on) specifying contents: read. This documents that the workflow only needs read access and ensures that even if repository/organization defaults are broad, this job remains restricted. Concretely, in .github/workflows/style-and-lint.yaml, insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the name: Code quality tests line and the on: block. No additional imports or methods are needed because this is configuration-only.
