ci: add least-privilege permissions to CI workflow#40
Merged
Conversation
Adds `permissions: contents: read` at the workflow level to satisfy CodeQL alerts #3 and #4 (\"Workflow does not contain permissions\"). Both jobs only need repo checkout access, so denying all other token scopes by default is safe and correct. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
permissions: contents: readat the workflow level in.github/workflows/ci.ymlWhy
GitHub Actions workflows inherit broad default token permissions unless explicitly restricted. CodeQL flagged both jobs (
testat line 10 andbuildat line 18) for not declaring permissions. Since both jobs only need to check out the repository,contents: readis the correct minimum — all other token scopes are denied by default.Reviewer notes
No functional change to the workflow steps. The
GITHUB_TOKENnow has only read access to repository contents, which is allactions/checkoutrequires.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
