- Adds a
permissionsblock withcontents: readto limit token privileges - Maintains workflow functionality while improving security posture
- Follows GitHub's security best practices for workflow permissions

Potential fix for https://github.com/kand-ta/kand/security/code-scanning/21
To fix the issue, we will add a
permissionsblock at the root of the workflow file. Since the workflow only involves building and testing Rust code, it does not require write permissions. We will set thecontentspermission toread, which is the minimal permission required for theactions/checkoutstep to function correctly. This change will ensure that theGITHUB_TOKENhas the least privilege necessary to complete the workflow.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
