Potential fix for https://github.com/eitatech/gatomia-vscode/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, you should explicitly declare a permissions block for the workflow or the specific job so that the GITHUB_TOKEN has only the minimal required scopes. For a pure CI pipeline that only checks out code and runs Node.js build/tests with no GitHub write operations, contents: read is typically sufficient.

The best targeted fix here is to add a permissions block at the job level for the main job, specifying contents: read. This ensures the GITHUB_TOKEN cannot be used for write operations while preserving current functionality, since the existing steps (checkout, setup-node, npm ci, build, test) do not require write permissions to the repository via the GitHub API.

Concretely, in .github/workflows/ci.yaml, under jobs: main:, insert:

    permissions:
      contents: read

between main: and runs-on: ubuntu-latest. No additional imports or methods are needed; this is purely a YAML configuration change.
