Potential fix for https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/security/code-scanning/7
To fix the issue, we will add a
permissionsblock at the root of the workflow file. This block will specify the minimal permissions required for the workflow to function correctly. Based on the tasks performed in the workflow, thecontents: readpermission is sufficient, as the workflow only needs to read repository contents for tasks like checking out code and validating files. No write permissions are necessary.The
permissionsblock will be added immediately after thenamefield at the top of the file.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
