Fix test workflow permissions
To fix the problem, add an explicit
permissions:block to the workflow configuration, at the root level (just after thenamekey, beforeonorjobs). For this particular workflow, which only performs source code checkout, Node.js setup, dependency installation, and local commands, only read-level access to repository contents is required (for the checkout operation). Thus, the permissions block should specifycontents: read, which is the minimal and sufficient setting here. No other permissions likeissues: writeorpull-requests: writeare required. The change should be made in.github/workflows/test.yml, at the top level after the workflow name.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
