Potential fix for https://github.com/inDevelopme/flask-simwire-basic/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, add a permissions block to the workflow to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN to only the privileges it needs. In this case, since the workflow only checks out code and builds a Docker image, it only needs read access to repository contents (contents: read). This block should be added at the root of the workflow YAML file (top-level), so it applies to all jobs, unless more granular permissions are required at the job level. No imports or other changes are needed; just add the recommended block to the beginning of the YAML file, directly beneath the workflow name.
