Potential fix for https://github.com/davep/braindrop/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the problem, explicitly declare restricted
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions in the workflow. The least-privilege configuration for this job is to allow read access to repository contents soactions/checkoutcan function, while denying write access to everything else. This is done by adding apermissionsblock that setscontents: read.The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a workflow-level
permissionsblock near the top of.github/workflows/style-lint-and-test.yaml, after thename:and beforeon:. This will apply to all jobs (currently juststyle-lint-and-test) without altering any steps. No additional imports, actions, or changes to steps are needed; we simply specify:This documents the workflow’s needs and ensures it remains restricted even if organization or repository defaults change later.
