Problem
Security scans identified three GitHub Actions workflows missing explicit permission declarations (issues #6, #5, and #3). When workflows lack explicit permissions, they inherit repository or organization-level permissions, which may grant excessive access that violates the principle of least privilege.
Solution
Added explicit minimal permissions to all workflow jobs following GitHub's security best practices:
.github/workflows/release.ymlcontents: read(for code checkout) andid-token: write(for Azure OIDC authentication)contents: read(for artifact operations).github/workflows/pull-request.ymlcontents: read(for code checkout)Impact
These changes ensure our workflows follow security best practices while maintaining all existing functionality.
