question: are we removing read permissions by only allowing security-events: write?

For public repositories read permissions on the GitHub Token are not required because the endpoints work without any AuthN/AuthZ, with the exception of unique keys like models: read (for AI inference with GitHub models) and packages: read (for workflows that run container jobs).

Scope Down GitHub Token Permissions
This PR updates GitHub Actions workflows to use minimal required permissions instead of the default elevated permissions.
Why This Matters
Following the principle of least privilege, workflows should only have the specific permissions they need to function.
Changes
This PR adds explicit
permissions:blocks to workflows that currently rely on default permissions, scoping them down to only what's required for their operations.Please review the changes to ensure the specified permissions match your workflow requirements.
