Token permissions analysis - all GitHub workflows already compliant with OpenSSF Scorecard requirements

[Copilot]

This PR addresses the Token-Permissions check requirements from the OpenSSF Scorecard by conducting a comprehensive analysis of all GitHub workflow files in the repository.

Analysis Results

After thorough examination of all 10 GitHub workflow files, I found that the repository is already fully compliant with the OpenSSF Scorecard Token-Permissions requirements. No changes were necessary.

✅ Root-Level Permissions Compliance

All workflow files correctly implement the minimum token permissions pattern:

permissions:
  contents: read

• Properly positioned after the on: block
• Consistent formatting with appropriate blank line spacing
• No excessive root-level permissions that need job-level migration

✅ Job-Level Permissions Compliance

Workflows that require additional permissions beyond read access already have appropriate job-level permissions configured:

• codeql.yml: security-events: write and actions: read for CodeQL analysis
• issue-management-*.yml: issues: write and pull-requests: write for issue management
• ossf-scorecard.yml: security-events: write and id-token: write for OSSF scorecard
• reusable-workflow-notification.yml: issues: write for GitHub issue notifications

All write permissions include proper trailing comments explaining their purpose.

✅ Reusable Workflow Integration

Jobs calling reusable workflows have adequate permissions:

• build.yml → reusable-markdown-link-check.yml: Only needs contents: read (satisfied)
• codeql.yml → reusable-workflow-notification.yml: Has required issues: write permission

✅ Security Best Practices

• All GITHUB_TOKEN usage follows principle of least privilege
• No excessive permissions beyond functional requirements
• Proper scoping of write permissions to specific jobs that need them

Verification

• ✅ All workflows pass the verification script requirements
• ✅ Repository builds successfully with ./gradlew check
• ✅ OpenSSF Scorecard Token-Permissions check requirements fully satisfied

The repository demonstrates excellent security practices with properly configured minimum token permissions across all GitHub workflows.

Fixes #8.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list
