This PR addresses the code scanning finding for missing explicit GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in workflow configuration. It applies least-privilege defaults at the workflow level while preserving required elevated permissions where already defined.

  • Security posture update

    • Added an explicit top-level permissions block in .github/workflows/build.yml:
      • contents: read
    • This removes implicit broad defaults for jobs that only require repository read access.
  • Permission model preservation

    • Left existing job-specific overrides intact (e.g., release path requiring write permissions), so only default scope is tightened.
permissions:
  contents: read
