Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 901: Workflow does not contain permissions

[aurelianware]

Potential fix for https://github.com/aurelianware/cloudhealthoffice/security/code-scanning/901

In general, the fix is to explicitly set a permissions: block to restrict the default GITHUB_TOKEN scope to the least privileges required. This block can be set at the top level of the workflow (applies to all jobs) or per-job. Since both jobs in this workflow are simple deploy/close actions and there is no evidence of needing broad write access, the safest change is to add a top-level permissions: block with read-only repository contents (and no other scopes) unless the action explicitly requires additional scopes.

The single best change here, without altering existing functionality, is to add a workflow-level permissions: section just below the on: block. As a minimal, conservative configuration, we can set contents: read, which matches the CodeQL suggestion and is typically sufficient for actions that only need to read repo content and post PR comments via repo_token. The rest of the workflow remains unchanged. No extra imports or methods are needed because this is purely configuration in the YAML workflow file.

Concretely:

• Edit .github/workflows/azure-static-web-apps-agreeable-meadow-0da15b31e.yml.
• After the on: section (after line 10/11), insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

This ensures both build_and_deploy_job and close_pull_request_job inherit the restricted permissions unless they later define their own permissions block.

Fixed in commit 6b0fc8f. The yamllint failure was caused by Windows-style CRLF line endings in the workflow file — converted them to LF, which resolves the [error] wrong new line character: expected \n error.

Pull request overview

Adds an explicit permissions block to the Azure Static Web Apps CI/CD workflow to address code scanning alert #901 by restricting default GITHUB_TOKEN privileges.

Changes:

• Add workflow-level permissions with contents: read to limit GITHUB_TOKEN scope.

[Copilot]

The new workflow-level permissions restricts GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read, but this workflow passes secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN as repo_token to Azure/static-web-apps-deploy@v1 (notably for PR integrations/PR comments). With only contents: read, the action will no longer be able to create/update PR comments or other PR metadata, changing existing behavior. Consider adding the minimal additional scopes required (typically pull-requests: write, and scope it per-job if you want close_pull_request_job to remain read-only).
