Potential fixes for 2 code scanning alerts

Potential fixes for 2 code scanning alerts from the Copilot AutoFix: Missing Permissions in Workflows security campaign:

• https://github.com/github/clipboard-copy-element/security/code-scanning/2
  The best way to fix this problem is to add a permissions block at the root level of the workflow file (above the jobs: key), explicitly specifying the minimal required permissions for the workflow—in this case, setting contents: read. This will ensure that all jobs in the workflow run with only read access to the repository contents, unless overridden by a more specific permissions block. This change should be implemented directly within the .github/workflows/nodejs.yml file above the jobs: section.

• https://github.com/github/clipboard-copy-element/security/code-scanning/1
  To fix the issue, add a permissions block at the workflow or the job level in .github/workflows/publish.yml. The best location is at the root, above or below the on block (before jobs:), to apply the minimal required permissions to all jobs in the workflow. For most publishing tasks, contents: read is sufficient unless the workflow specifically needs to write to contents, issues, or packages. If additional permissions are justifiably needed (e.g., for uploading assets, creating releases, etc.), adjust accordingly. For the shown snippet, setting contents: read at the root suffices.

The publish workflow likely needs contents: write permission to create releases and id-token: write or other permissions to publish packages to npm or other registries. Setting only contents: read may cause the workflow to fail during publishing operations. Consider adding job-level permissions if different steps require different access levels.
