Pull request overview
Adds an explicit permissions block to the .NET CI workflow to address the code scanning alert about missing GITHUB_TOKEN permission scoping, aligning the workflow with least-privilege defaults.
Changes:
- Add root-level
permissions: contents: readto.github/workflows/dotnet.ymlso all jobs inherit minimal token permissions.

Potential fix for https://github.com/TownSuite/DapperExtras/security/code-scanning/4
In general, the problem is fixed by adding an explicit
permissions:block to the workflow or to each job, granting only the minimum required scopes forGITHUB_TOKEN. For a simple CI workflow that only checks out code, builds, runs tests, and uploads artifacts—and does not push changes or modify issues/PRs—contents: readis typically sufficient.The best fix here, without changing behavior, is to add a root-level
permissions:block that applies to all jobs in this workflow. Since the only GitHub operations areactions/checkoutandactions/upload-artifact, the token only needs read access to repository contents; artifact upload does not require additional repository write scopes. We will therefore insert:between the
on:section and thejobs:section in.github/workflows/dotnet.yml. No imports or other definitions are needed, and no existing steps or job definitions need to change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
