Conversation
Resolves the CodeQL "Workflow does not contain permissions" alert by adding an explicit top-level read-only GITHUB_TOKEN scope and granting the semantic-release job only the write scopes it needs (contents, issues, pull-requests). Mirrors the pattern already used in lint.yml. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JwM51gNnSMcNN1YeJE8aYr
