Potential fix for https://github.com/davep/braindrop/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, explicitly declare restricted GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in the workflow. The least-privilege configuration for this job is to allow read access to repository contents so actions/checkout can function, while denying write access to everything else. This is done by adding a permissions block that sets contents: read.

The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a workflow-level permissions block near the top of .github/workflows/style-lint-and-test.yaml, after the name: and before on:. This will apply to all jobs (currently just style-lint-and-test) without altering any steps. No additional imports, actions, or changes to steps are needed; we simply specify:

permissions:
  contents: read

This documents the workflow’s needs and ensures it remains restricted even if organization or repository defaults change later.
