This PR addresses the security requirement to ensure GitHub workflow jobs that run github/codeql-action/analyze have correct permission configurations.

Analysis Performed

• ✅ Identified workflows using CodeQL analyze action: Found 1 workflow (.github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml)
• ✅ Verified permission configuration: The CodeQL-Build job correctly defines security-events: write at the job level
• ✅ Confirmed root-level compliance: Root-level permissions appropriately exclude security-events: write

Current Configuration

The existing configuration already meets the security requirements:

# Root level - correctly minimal permissions
permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  CodeQL-Build:
    # Job level - correctly includes security-events permission
    permissions:
      actions: read
      contents: read
      security-events: write  # ✅ Required for CodeQL analysis

Validation

Created and ran a validation script that confirms:

• All jobs using github/codeql-action/analyze have security-events: write permission at job level
• No security-events permissions are incorrectly defined at root level
• Configuration follows GitHub Actions security best practices

Conclusion

No code changes were required - the repository already has the correct CodeQL workflow permissions configuration as specified in the issue requirements.

Fixes #71.
