Assessment: GitHub workflow files already have proper token permissions

[Copilot]

This PR addresses the OSSF Scorecard token permissions requirements by conducting a comprehensive analysis of all GitHub workflow files in the repository.

Assessment Results

After thorough examination of all 9 workflow files in .github/workflows/, I found that the repository is already fully compliant with the OSSF Scorecard token permissions requirements:

✅ Top-level permissions (All present)

All workflow files correctly include permissions: contents: read at the top level, positioned immediately after the on: block:

• benchmark.yml
• ci.yml
• codeql-analysis.yml
• fossa.yml
• integration_tests.yml
• markdown-link-check.yml
• ossf-scorecard.yml
• pr_naming.yml
• semver.yml

✅ Job-level permissions (Correctly configured)

Workflows that require elevated permissions already have appropriate job-level permissions:

• benchmark.yml → runBenchmark job: pull-requests: write (for PR comments)
• codeql-analysis.yml → analyze job: security-events: write (for CodeQL analysis)
• ossf-scorecard.yml → analysis job: security-events: write, id-token: write (for OSSF Scorecard)

✅ Best practices followed

• No job-level permissions include contents: read (appropriate for public repositories)
• No workflows use actions requiring additional permissions like JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action
• Proper spacing and formatting maintained
• All permissions blocks positioned correctly

Verification

Automated verification scripts confirmed compliance with all OSSF Scorecard requirements. No changes were necessary as the repository already meets the security standards.

Fixes #5.
