To fix the problem, explicitly declare the
permissionsfor theGITHUB_TOKENso that the workflow does not rely on potentially over‑permissive repository defaults. Since this CI workflow only needs to read the repository contents to build, the minimal safe permission iscontents: read.The best way to fix this without changing functionality is to add a
permissionsblock at the workflow level (top-level, alongsidenameandon). This will apply to all jobs in the workflow that do not override it. Concretely, in.github/workflows/ci.yml, insert:between the
name: CI Buildline and theon:block. No other changes, imports, or definitions are needed; GitHub Actions natively supports thepermissionskey, and the existing steps (checkout, setup-dotnet, build) will continue to function correctly with read-only repository access.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
