Pull Request Overview
This PR adds explicit permissions configuration to the test.yml GitHub Actions workflow, implementing the security best practice of defining minimal required permissions. The workflow previously relied on default permissions, which could grant more access than necessary.
- Added
permissions: contents: readat the workflow level - Follows the principle of least privilege by granting only the minimum permission needed for checking out code and running tests
- Aligns with existing security practices in the repository (the
publish.ymlworkflow already has explicit permissions)
