Potential fix for https://github.com/santiagourdaneta/Random-Conspiracy-Generator-Zero-Node-Go-Vanilla-JS-HTMX-SQLite-Bulma-CSS/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, explicitly set a least-privilege permissions block so the GITHUB_TOKEN used in this workflow is limited to what the job actually needs. For this workflow, the only action interacting with the repository is actions/checkout, which requires contents: read. None of the steps push changes, create releases, or interact with issues/PRs, so no write permissions are necessary.

The best fix without altering existing functionality is to add a root-level permissions: block right under the name: (before on:). This will apply to all jobs that do not override it, including qa-pipeline. Specifically, in .github/workflows/ci.yml, add:

permissions:
  contents: read

on new line 2, shifting the rest of the lines down. No imports or additional methods are needed since this is purely a workflow configuration change.
