In general, to fix this type of issue you add an explicit
permissionsblock at the workflow root or per job to limitGITHUB_TOKENto the minimum required scopes. Jobs that call reusable workflows (uses: ./.github/workflows/...) can and should still declarepermissions, which become the upper bound for what the reusable workflow can do.For this specific file, the best minimal change is to add a
permissionssection under thebuildjob, similar toquality-checks, granting read‑only access to repository contents. This preserves existing behavior for read operations while removing any unnecessary write permissions that might otherwise be inherited from repo defaults. Concretely, in.github/workflows/build_on_push.yaml, underbuild:and aligned withname,needs, anduses, insert:No extra imports or methods are required; this is purely a YAML configuration change.
