The test (3.14) GitHub Actions job failed before tests ran because repository checkout could not authenticate. The workflow-level permissions were set to {}, which removed the token scope required by actions/checkout.

  • Root cause

    • Workflow explicitly set permissions: {}, resulting in a token without repository contents read access.
  • Change

    • Updated .github/workflows/main.yaml to grant the minimum required scope for checkout:
      • contents: read
  • Why this is minimal

    • Preserves least-privilege posture while enabling repository fetch for all matrix jobs.
# .github/workflows/main.yaml
permissions:
  contents: read
