permissions: read-all followed by an indented actions: read is a YAML
parse error. The workflow never starts, so it emits no check run — a
required context silently never reports, and this repository currently looks
greener than a repaired one.

read-all already grants actions: read, so removing the stray line is a
semantic no-op. Each file was verified with a real YAML parser: it fails
yq before the change and parses after it. Every diff is exactly one deleted line.

Files changed: workflow-linter.yml

Measured estate-wide: 42 such files across 28 repositories on main, all
carrying the identical stray key. Zero overlap with the TokenPermissions sweep.

A scalar `permissions: read-all` followed by an indented `  actions: read`
is a YAML parse error, so the workflow never starts. It emits no check run at
all, which means a required context silently never reports and the repository
looks greener than a repaired one.

`read-all` already grants `actions: read`, so deleting the stray line is a
semantic no-op. Verified with a real parser: each file fails `yq` before the
change and parses after it.
