fix(ci): grant callers the permissions their reusable workflows declare - #78
Conversation
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe workflows now declare explicit job-level permissions for reusable workflow calls. The declarations add or retain read access for Actions and repository contents, and add security-events write access where required. ChangesWorkflow permissions
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Bug fix Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to Three continuous-integration workflow files are not valid and cannot be loaded, so governance, mirroring, and Rust CI checks would stop running entirely on this branch. The indentation must be corrected before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Align the three permissions blocks with uses.
The permissions key has six leading spaces, while the job key and uses key have four. This makes all three workflow files invalid YAML, so GitHub Actions cannot load them.
.github/workflows/governance.yml#L38-L41.github/workflows/mirror.yml#L19-L22.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml#L21-L24
Move each permissions key to the same indentation as uses.

GitHub refuses these runs at workflow-creation time:
Error calling workflow ... The workflow is requesting '<perm>', but is only allowed '<none>'.Aworkflow_calljob must grant a superset of the callee's declared permissions. This adds the canonical grant (actions: read,contents: read,security-events: write) that the healthy repos already carry.
