Potential fix for https://github.com/Fryyyyy/Fryatog/security/code-scanning/2

In general, the fix is to explicitly define a permissions block to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimal required scope. For this workflow, the steps are: set up Go, check out the repository, and run tests. These operations only require read access to repository contents, and no write access or special scopes (like issues, pull-requests, etc.). Therefore, the least-privilege fix is to add permissions: contents: read.

The single best way to fix this without changing existing functionality is to add a top-level permissions block, so it applies to all jobs (currently just build). This keeps the YAML simple and ensures any future jobs inherit the restricted permissions by default unless they explicitly override them. Concretely, edit .github/workflows/runtests.yaml to insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the on: and jobs: keys. No additional imports, methods, or other definitions are needed; this is purely a configuration change in the workflow YAML.
