Verify OpenSSF Scorecard token permissions compliance across all GitHub workflows

[Copilot]

This PR addresses the OpenSSF Scorecard Token-Permissions check by conducting a comprehensive audit of all GitHub workflow files in the repository.

Summary

After thorough analysis of all 10 workflow files, no changes were required as the repository already implements OpenSSF Scorecard best practices for token permissions.

Verification Results

✅ Root-Level Permissions

All workflow files have proper root-level permissions (permissions: contents: read):

• build.yml
• codeql.yml
• fossa.yml
• gradle-wrapper-validation.yml
• issue-management-feedback-label.yml
• issue-management-stale-action.yml
• oats-tests.yml
• ossf-scorecard.yml
• reusable-markdown-link-check.yml
• reusable-workflow-notification.yml

✅ Job-Level Permissions

All jobs requiring elevated permissions have appropriate job-specific permissions:

• CodeQL analysis jobs with security-events: write for SARIF uploads
• Issue management jobs with issues: write and pull-requests: write for GitHub CLI operations
• OSSF Scorecard job with id-token: write for OIDC token publishing

✅ Reusable Workflow Calls

Jobs calling other workflows via uses: have been verified:

• build.yml → reusable-markdown-link-check.yml (read-only operations)
• codeql.yml → reusable-workflow-notification.yml (proper issues: write permission)

✅ GitHub Token Usage

All secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN usage is properly scoped with minimal required permissions for issue management and stale action workflows.

Compliance Status

The repository already meets all OpenSSF Scorecard requirements for token permissions:

• ✅ Root-level permissions limited to read access
• ✅ Job-level permissions follow principle of least privilege
• ✅ No excessive permissions granted

Fixes #6.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list
