This PR updates the workflow file .github/workflows/pr-preview.yml to fix the 403 permission denied error when deploying previews with GitHub Actions.
Changes Made
Added permissions: contents: write to the workflow job so that github-actions[bot] can push to the preview branch.
Ensured the deployment step uses the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN with the correct permissions.
Why this change?
The deploy step was failing with the following error:
remote: Permission to .git denied to github-actions[bot].
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/...': The requested URL returned error: 403
This happened because the workflow did not have write access to repository contents.
Impact
Fixes deployment of PR preview to GitHub Pages.
Ensures contributors can see live previews for pull requests.
