Potential fix for https://github.com/RealAlexandreAI/json-repair/security/code-scanning/1

In general, the fix is to explicitly declare permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN at the workflow or job level and restrict them to the minimum required. This job only checks out code and runs tests; it doesn’t appear to need any write access to repository contents, issues, or pull requests. Therefore, contents: read at the job (or workflow) level is an appropriate minimal setting.

The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a permissions: block scoped to the build job under .github/workflows/ci.yaml. This avoids changing behavior for any other jobs that might exist in the file (none are shown, but we stay local to what we see) and documents the required access. Concretely, in .github/workflows/ci.yaml, directly under the runs-on: ubuntu-latest line for the build job, add:

    permissions:
      contents: read

No additional methods, imports, or definitions are required; this is purely a workflow configuration change.
