Potential fix for https://github.com/WrenSecurity/wrensec-ui/security/code-scanning/1

In general, this issue is fixed by explicitly specifying a permissions block in the workflow (either at the root level or per job) that grants only the scopes actually needed. For a simple build-and-test workflow that only checks out code and runs Maven, read-only access to repository contents is sufficient, so contents: read is an appropriate minimal configuration.

The best fix here without changing existing functionality is to add a root-level permissions block near the top of .github/workflows/build.yml, so it applies to all jobs (currently only build). Concretely, we will insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the on: declaration (line 3) and the jobs: section (line 5). No other steps or actions need to be changed, and no additional imports or methods are required, because this is purely workflow configuration.
