Potential fix for https://github.com/TownSuite/DapperExtras/security/code-scanning/5
In general, the fix is to add an explicit
permissionsblock to the workflow or to the individual job(s) so that theGITHUB_TOKENhas only the minimal scopes required. For this workflow, thereportjob runs after tests and usesdorny/test-reporter@v2to read an uploaded artifact and create a GitHub Check Run with the test results. That means it needs to read repository contents and write checks, but does not need broader write permissions (like pushing commits, modifying issues, etc.).The best minimal fix without changing functionality is to add a
permissionsblock under thereportjob, specifyingcontents: read(to align with normal read-only repo access) andchecks: write(so it can create/update the test report check). We’ll insert:directly under
report:and aboveruns-on:in.github/workflows/report-tests.yml. No other files or imports are involved, and the rest of the workflow remains unchanged.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
