Potential fix for https://github.com/jpmorby/taskman/security/code-scanning/1
In general, the problem is fixed by explicitly declaring a
permissions:block that restricts theGITHUB_TOKENto the minimal scopes required. For this workflow, the steps only need to read repository contents (foractions/checkout) and do not appear to require any write access to GitHub resources such as contents, pull requests, or issues.The best fix, without changing existing functionality, is to add a
permissions:block at the workflow root (top-level, alongsidename:andon:). This will apply to all jobs in the workflow, includingci, and limit the token to read-only on repository contents. Concretely, in.github/workflows/tests.yml, add:between the
name: testsline and theon:block. No other changes are needed; all existing steps (checkout, setup, install, build, tests, linting) will continue to work, because they only require read access to the repository.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
