This PR completes the OpenSSF Scorecard token permissions compliance by adding missing trailing comments to job-level write permissions in GitHub workflow files.

Background

The repository already had proper root-level permissions (contents: read or read-all) for all workflow files, meeting the core OpenSSF Scorecard requirements. However, several job-level write permissions were missing the required trailing comments explaining their purpose.

Changes Made

Added trailing comments to job-level write permissions in the following workflow files:

  1. benchmark.yml: Added explanatory comments for contents: write and deployments: write permissions
  2. project_management_comment.yml: Added comment explaining issues: write permission
  3. project_management_issue_open.yml: Added comment explaining issues: write permission
  4. ossf-scorecard.yml: Converted block comments to proper trailing comments for security-events: write and id-token: write permissions

Example Changes

# Before
permissions:
  contents: write
  deployments: write

# After  
permissions:
  contents: write # required for storing benchmark results
  deployments: write # required for deployment operations

Verification

  • All 13 workflow files pass the OpenSSF Scorecard permissions verification
  • All YAML files remain valid after changes
  • Changes are minimal and surgical, only adding required trailing comments
  • Root-level permissions remain unchanged as they were already compliant
  • Job-level permissions functionality is preserved with explanatory comments

The repository now fully complies with OpenSSF Scorecard token permissions requirements with proper documentation explaining the purpose of each write permission.

Fixes #73.
