Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 11: Workflow does not contain permissions

[erickisos]

Potential fix for https://github.com/erickisos/simple-serverless-project/security/code-scanning/11

In general, this issue is fixed by explicitly defining a permissions block for the workflow or for each job, restricting the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimal scopes needed. For a typical CI workflow that only checks out code and runs lint/tests, contents: read at the workflow root is usually sufficient, and no write permissions are necessary.

For this specific workflow (.github/workflows/code-quality.yml), neither lint nor test jobs perform any write operations against the repository or GitHub resources; they just read the code and run tools locally. Therefore, the single best fix is to add a workflow-level permissions block right after the name: declaration, setting contents: read. This will apply to both jobs without any further changes and will not alter existing functionality, since all current steps only require read access to repository contents.

Concretely:

• Edit .github/workflows/code-quality.yml.

• Insert:

  permissions:
    contents: read

  after line 1 (name: Code Quality Checks) and before the on: block.

• No additional imports, methods, or definitions are needed because this is purely a YAML workflow configuration change.
