Potential fix for https://github.com/cigoria/simpleShare/security/code-scanning/1

In general, to fix this issue you explicitly specify a permissions block in the workflow (either at the top level, applying to all jobs, or within the specific job) that grants only the minimal required scopes. For a simple CI workflow that just checks out the repository and runs build/tests without interacting with issues, PRs, or releases, contents: read is usually sufficient.

The single best way to fix this specific workflow without changing its behavior is to add a root-level permissions block after the name: (or after on:) so it applies to the build-and-test job. This workflow only reads repository contents (via actions/checkout) and does not need to write to the repo or modify issues/PRs, so we can safely restrict GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read. No additional methods, imports, or definitions are needed; it is purely a YAML configuration change in .github/workflows/pr-build-test.yml around the beginning of the file (lines 1–6).
