Potential fix for https://github.com/paulirwin/neoluke/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, you should explicitly declare a permissions block to restrict the default GITHUB_TOKEN access. The safest minimal approach is to set permissions: { contents: read } at the top level of the workflow. This restricts all jobs to only the read permission on repository contents, which is sufficient for building and testing code. Place this permissions key at the top of the file, directly under the name:/workflow title (line 5), or directly between name: and on:. No further code or dependency changes are needed.
