Potential fix for https://github.com/tobitege/OpenSourceToolkit.NET/security/code-scanning/3
To fix the problem, add explicit
permissionsblocks to all jobs that currently rely on default permissions. For jobs that only need to read the repository (e.g.,validateandbuild-desktop), setcontents: read. Keep the existingcontents: writeon thepublishjob, since it likely needs to create tags and releases. This aligns each job with least privilege and satisfies CodeQL.Concretely:
.github/workflows/release.yml, underjobs.validate, add:permissions: contents: read.github/workflows/release.yml, underjobs.build-desktop, add:permissions: contents: readpermissionsblock inpublishunchanged.No additional imports, methods, or external libraries are required; this is purely a workflow YAML configuration change.
