Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 1: Workflow does not contain permissions

[utkarsh232005]

Potential fix for https://github.com/KDM-cli/kdm-cli/security/code-scanning/1

Add an explicit permissions block to the workflow so the GITHUB_TOKEN is least-privileged.
Best fix here: define workflow-level permissions right after the on: block (or before jobs:) with:

• contents: read

This is sufficient for this workflow’s current actions (checkout + dependency install + tests) and preserves existing functionality.
File to change: .github/workflows/test.yml in the top-level section before jobs:.

No imports, methods, or extra definitions are needed—just YAML configuration.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The test workflow now explicitly declares GitHub Actions token permissions, restricting access to read-only repository contents. This prevents unintended privilege escalation by default-scoped tokens in pull request contexts.

Poem

🔐 A lock turns gently in the CI door,
permissions whispered: read, and no more.
No scope shall creep where secrets reside—
Three lines of trust stand strong, side by side. ✨
