Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 1: Workflow does not contain permissions

[Lawrence Lucas Large (LukeLarge)]

Potential fix for https://github.com/LukeLarge/bicycle/security/code-scanning/1

To fix this issue, the workflow should include an explicit permissions block set to the minimally required scope. Based on the workflow content, which only involves checking out code, installing dependencies, and running tests (with no writing to the repository, issues, or pull requests), the minimal required permission is contents: read. This setting provides the workflow GITHUB_TOKEN with only read access to repository contents.

You can set the permissions block at the workflow (top/root) level or at the job level. Setting it at the root level will apply to all jobs (just build in this case). The best practice here is to add:

permissions:
  contents: read

immediately after the name: block and before the on: key, or directly after (before jobs:). Region to change: edit .github/workflows/go.yml to add this permissions block at the workflow root. No additional methods, imports, or other definitions are needed.

Pull request overview

This PR addresses a security code scanning alert by adding an explicit permissions block to the Go workflow file. The change implements the principle of least privilege by restricting the GitHub Actions workflow token to only read access to repository contents, which is the minimum required permission for a workflow that checks out code, runs builds, and executes tests.

Key change:

• Added permissions: contents: read block to the workflow configuration
