Pull request overview
This PR addresses code scanning alert #4 ("Workflow does not contain permissions") by adding an explicit least-privilege permissions block to .github/workflows/ci-test.yml. Previously the workflow relied on the default GITHUB_TOKEN permission set; this change constrains the token to read-only scopes, which is a standard GitHub Actions security hardening practice.
Changes:
- Add a workflow-root
permissionsblock grantingcontents: read(for checkout) andactions: read. - Scope applies to all jobs since it's defined at the workflow root, with no behavioral change to the existing CI job.

Add an explicit
permissionsblock to.github/workflows/ci-test.ymlat the workflow root (afteron:and beforejobs:) so it applies to all jobs unless overridden. For this workflow, the minimal safe baseline is:contents: read(needed for checkout)actions: read(safe explicit read for Actions metadata)This preserves behavior while ensuring the token is constrained and documented. No imports/methods/dependencies are needed since this is YAML configuration only.
