The best way to fix the problem is to add a
permissionsblock specifying only the necessary privileges for this workflow. This is typically placed at the root of the workflow file if all jobs require similar access, or at the job level for more fine-grained control. Since the workflow performs push and commit actions, thecontents: writepermission is required to allow write access to repository contents via GITHUB_TOKEN. This can be safely added at the root level, above thejobs:key, ensuring all steps inherit the correct least-privilege permissions. No further imports or definitions are required; only a single block of permissions should be added to the YAML.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
