In general, the problem is fixed by adding an explicit
permissionsblock to the workflow or to the individual job, granting only what is required. For a simple test workflow that only checks out code and runs tests,contents: readis sufficient and is the recommended minimal starting point.The single best fix here is to add a
permissionsblock at the workflow root (top level, alongsidenameandon). This will apply to all jobs (currently justtest) and sets theGITHUB_TOKENto read-only for repository contents. Concretely, in.github/workflows/tests.yml, insert:between the
name: Testsand theon:block. No imports or additional methods are needed, as this is purely a YAML configuration change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
