To fix the issue, we need to add a
permissionsblock to the workflow. This block should specify the least privileges required for the workflow to function correctly. Based on the operations performed in the workflow, the following permissions are necessary:contents: readfor reading repository contents.pull-requests: writefor interacting with pull requests.packages: writefor updating the package version and pushing tags.The
permissionsblock can be added at the root level of the workflow to apply to all jobs, or within the specific job (update-version) to limit its scope. In this case, adding it at the root level is more concise and ensures consistency across jobs.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
