You can probably put this on the top level as a default for all jobs that don't specify something else

Potential fix for https://github.com/pallets-eco/flask-security/security/code-scanning/19
In general, the fix is to explicitly define a minimal
permissionsblock for thebuildjob so that theGITHUB_TOKENis restricted to only what the job actually needs. For this job, it only needs to read the repository contents (foractions/checkout) and does not push commits, create releases, or modify issues, socontents: readis sufficient.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/publish.yaml, underjobs: build:, add apermissions:section withcontents: read. Place it alongsideruns-onandoutputs, not understeps. No other functionality needs to change, and no additional imports or dependencies are required. The other jobs (create-releaseandpublish-pypi) already have appropriately scoped permissions and should remain as they are.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
