Potential fix for https://github.com/scorpion7slayer/NxtGit/security/code-scanning/3

To fix the problem, explicitly set restricted GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in the workflow. Because this workflow only checks out code, caches builds, and runs tests, it does not need write access to repository contents or other scopes. The minimal safe configuration is to add permissions: contents: read at the workflow or job level.

The best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a top-level permissions block right under the workflow name: (or under on:) so it applies to all jobs. Concretely, in .github/workflows/test.yml, insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the existing on: [pull_request] and jobs: lines. No imports or additional methods are needed; this is purely a YAML configuration change within the workflow file.

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