Potential fix for https://github.com/Moohan/flow-bt/security/code-scanning/1

In general, to fix this class of issues you add a permissions block to the workflow (or to specific jobs) that grants only the scopes required. For a typical CI workflow that just checks out code, installs dependencies, runs linters/tests, builds, and uploads coverage to Codecov, contents: read is sufficient. None of the steps need to write to the repo or modify issues/PRs.

The best fix here is to add a workflow-level permissions block right after the name: Test line. This applies to all jobs unless they override it, and it makes it clear that the GITHUB_TOKEN only has read access to repository contents. No other permissions (like pull-requests, issues, actions, etc.) are needed based on the shown steps. Concretely, edit .github/workflows/test.yaml to insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between line 1 (name: Test) and line 3 (on:), keeping indentation consistent with top-level keys.

No additional imports, methods, or definitions are needed, since this is purely a workflow configuration change.
