Potential fix for https://github.com/RedTurtle/iocomune-backend/security/code-scanning/4

In general, the fix is to explicitly declare a permissions block to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimal required scopes instead of relying on repository defaults. This can be done at the top workflow level (applying to all jobs) or per job.

For this specific workflow, the simplest and safest fix without changing functionality is to add a workflow-level permissions block that grants read-only access to repository contents. The job only checks out code and runs local build/test commands; it doesn’t need to write to the repo or interact with issues/PRs, so contents: read is enough. We’ll insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

near the top of .github/workflows/buildout.yml, between the name: and on: keys. No imports or other definitions are needed, and no existing steps must be changed. This satisfies CodeQL’s requirement and enforces least privilege for the GITHUB_TOKEN used in this workflow.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
