In general, the problem is fixed by explicitly defining a
permissionsblock that limits the defaultGITHUB_TOKENto the least privileges needed by this workflow. If the workflow only needs to read repository contents or metadata, thenpermissions: contents: read(or evenpermissions: read-all) is usually sufficient. More granular write permissions (e.g.,issues: write) should only be added if the workflow actually needs them.For this specific workflow, the job is only triggering another workflow in a different repository using a PAT, and there is no indication it needs to write to this repository or modify issues, PRs, etc. The safest change that preserves existing behavior is to add an explicit read-only permission for contents. The cleanest approach is to add a root-level
permissions:block, right under thename:and beforeon:, so it applies to all jobs (there is only one job here). Concretely, in.github/workflows/sanity-test.yml, insert:after line 1 (
name: Sanity Tests). No imports or additional methods are needed since this is a YAML configuration change only.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
