Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 6: Workflow does not contain permissions

[bernoussama]

Potential fix for https://github.com/bernoussama/lazyshell/security/code-scanning/6

Add an explicit permissions block in .github/workflows/ci.yml at the workflow root (top-level), so it applies to all jobs unless overridden.
For this workflow, the least-privilege baseline is:

• contents: read

This is sufficient for actions/checkout and the shown build/lint/check steps. No functionality change is expected.

Where to change: .github/workflows/ci.yml, directly after the on: trigger block and before jobs:.

No imports, methods, or additional definitions are needed.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds an explicit top-level permissions block that grants only contents: read access, applying least-privilege security hardening to the workflow while keeping all existing job logic unchanged.

• bernoussama/lazyshell#144: Both PRs add an explicit GitHub Actions top-level permissions: contents: read block to .github/workflows to address missing/unspecified workflow permissions.
• bernoussama/lazyshell#67: Both PRs modify GitHub Actions workflow permissions to contents: read—main PR in ci.yml at the workflow level and retrieved PR in cd.yml (job-level build)—so they're directly related configuration changes.

🐰 A lock upon the workflow door,
No extra keys forevermore,
Just contents: read, safe and bright,
The principal of least-right,
Security bunny hops tonight! ✨

Nightly review — lazyshell#148 (code scanning alert 6: workflow permissions)

Verdict: LGTM. permissions: contents: read at the workflow level is exactly the prescribed fix for alert 6 (undocumented permissions). Nit: the other workflows in the repo should get the same treatment so the alert class doesn't regrow — consider a follow-up that pins least-privilege permissions on every workflow.
