Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 8: Workflow does not contain permissions

[majorsilence]

Potential fix for https://github.com/majorsilence/Reporting/security/code-scanning/8

In general, the fix is to explicitly define a permissions: block that grants the minimal required GITHUB_TOKEN scopes. This can be done at the top level of the workflow (applies to all jobs) or per job. Since we only see one job (windows-build), adding a job-level permissions: block is sufficient and minimally invasive.

The safest minimal permission for this workflow, based on the steps shown, is contents: read, which allows the actions to read repository content but not write to it. None of the steps shown require write access to repository contents, issues, or pull requests. Therefore, update .github/workflows/windows.yml by inserting a permissions: section under the windows-build job (same indentation level as runs-on). No imports, methods, or additional definitions are needed; the change is purely in the YAML configuration.

Concretely:

• Edit .github/workflows/windows.yml.
• Under jobs: windows-build:, between the job name and runs-on: windows-latest, add:

    permissions:
      contents: read

This constrains GITHUB_TOKEN for this job to read-only repository contents, satisfying CodeQL and least-privilege guidance without altering the existing build/test behavior.

Changes:

• Add a job-level permissions block to the windows-build job.
• Set contents: read for the windows-build job token scope.

The new job-level permissions restrict GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read only, but this workflow uses dorny/test-reporter@v2, which creates/updates GitHub Check Runs for the test report. With checks permission omitted, this step is likely to fail with a 403 when trying to publish results. Consider adding the minimal additional scopes needed (typically checks: write and, for PR annotations, pull-requests: read) alongside contents: read.
