fix(ci): grant callers the permissions their reusable workflows declare - #90
Conversation
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe workflows now define explicit job-level permissions for governance, Scorecard, and secret scanning. These permissions include the access required to read actions and contents and to write security-event results. ChangesWorkflow permissions
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to Two of the three updated automation workflows contain a formatting error that makes them unreadable, so the governance and secret-scanning checks will not run at all until the indentation is corrected. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Fix the indentation of both job-level permissions blocks.
Both workflow files contain invalid YAML. In .github/workflows/governance.yml, permissions: is nested beneath the scalar uses: value. In .github/workflows/secret-scanner.yml, it is nested beneath secrets: inherit. Align each permissions: key with the sibling job keys.

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.
