Potential fix for https://github.com/davep/dhv/security/code-scanning/1

In general, the fix is to explicitly declare minimal GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in the workflow, either at the root level (applies to all jobs) or per job. Since this workflow has a single job and needs only to read repository contents (for checkout and running checks), we can set permissions: contents: read. This restricts the token from performing write operations on the repository while still allowing required read access.

The best minimal fix without changing existing functionality is to add a permissions block at the top level of .github/workflows/style-and-lint.yaml, beneath the on: section (or directly under name:), so it applies to the entire workflow. Specifically, update .github/workflows/style-and-lint.yaml to include:

permissions:
  contents: read

No additional imports, methods, or definitions are needed because this is a declarative GitHub Actions configuration change only. Functionality of all existing steps remains unchanged; they already only read from the repository.
