Potential fix for https://github.com/donny-devops/docker-flask-postgres-api/security/code-scanning/2

Add an explicit permissions block to the test job in .github/workflows/ci.yml, directly under runs-on (or near the top of that job), with least privilege required.

Best fix here (without changing functionality): set:

  • contents: read (required for actions/checkout)
  • actions: read (safe/minimal for workflow action interactions; harmless and restrictive)

No new imports, methods, or dependencies are needed. This change is local to the test job block only.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Summary

This PR adds a permissions block to the test job to follow the principle of least privilege, which is a good security improvement. However, there is a critical issue that will cause the workflow to fail.

Critical Issue

The permissions block grants actions: read, but the actions/upload-artifact@v4 step requires actions: write to upload the coverage report. This will cause the coverage upload step to fail.

Required Change

Update the permissions block to include actions: write instead of actions: read to ensure the artifact upload succeeds while still maintaining appropriate security restrictions.

🛑 Logic Error: The actions/upload-artifact@v4 step on line 91 requires write permissions to upload artifacts. Add actions: write to the permissions block, otherwise the coverage upload will fail with a permissions error.
