User description

Potential fix for https://github.com/hbmartin/graphviz2drawio/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the issue, we will add a permissions block at the root level of the workflow file. This block will specify contents: read, which is the minimal permission required for the workflow to read repository files for linting and typo-checking. This ensures that the workflow adheres to the principle of least privilege and does not have unnecessary write permissions.


Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

    Poem

    🐇
    In the warren of workflows, clear and neat,
    Permissions set for a markdown treat.

    Our scripts now hop with safer might.
    With every lint and typo found,
    The docs stay strong, the code renowned!
