The optimal way to fix this issue is to explicitly add a
permissionskey with the least required privilege. Since this workflow does not seem to require anywriteor elevated permissions (it installs dependencies and runs formatters/linters only), the minimal privilege necessary would becontents: read. This should be added either at the workflow root level (just after thename:and beforeon:) or at the job level. Conventionally, it's better to set it at the root to cover all jobs by default. The changes should be made at the top of.github/workflows/python.ymlafter thename:line and before theon:key.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
