Potential fix for https://github.com/RoboSats/robosats/security/code-scanning/21

To fix the problem, add an explicit permissions block to the workflow YAML file. It is preferable to place this block at the root of the workflow, so it applies to all jobs unless overridden locally. For this workflow, the optimal fix is to insert the following block after the name: or immediately before/after the on: block:

permissions:
  contents: read

This restricts the default permission set for the GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only access for repository contents, following the principle of least privilege and mitigating unnecessary write access. No changes are needed to the rest of the workflow, as the job does not appear to require higher permissions.
