Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 4: Workflow does not contain permissions

[ajay-dhangar]

Potential fix for https://github.com/codeharborhub/tutorial/security/code-scanning/4

In general, the fix is to explicitly declare a permissions block in the workflow or for the specific job so that the GITHUB_TOKEN is limited to the minimal rights required. This workflow only needs to read from the repository (and in fact mostly uses public search APIs and event payload data), so contents: read is an appropriate minimal starting point.

The best fix with no functional change is to add a top-level permissions section (so it applies to all jobs) specifying contents: read. This should be added just under the name: (or directly under on: if preferred), before the jobs: key. No changes are necessary to steps or commands, and no additional imports or tools are needed. The rest of the workflow continues to run as before, but with a more restricted token.

Specifically, edit .github/workflows/issue_creation_workflow.yml to insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

after line 2 (the blank line following name: Issue Creation Workflow).
