Copilot Autofix

AI 4 months ago

To fix the issue, we need to add a permissions block to the workflow. This block will explicitly define the least privileges required for the workflow to function correctly. Since the workflow involves downloading artifacts and deploying services, the contents: read permission is sufficient for most operations. If specific jobs require additional permissions, such as pull-requests: write, they can be defined at the job level.

The permissions block should be added at the root level of the workflow to apply to all jobs unless overridden by job-specific permissions.
