Potential fix for https://github.com/abhimehro/ctrld-sync/security/code-scanning/2

To fix the problem, add an explicit permissions: block that restricts the GITHUB_TOKEN to the least privileges required. In this workflow, the job checks out code, sets up Python, installs dependencies, runs a dry-run command, and uploads an artifact; none of these require write access to repository contents or other privileged scopes. Therefore, the minimal and appropriate permission is contents: read.

The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to define permissions: contents: read at the workflow (top) level so it applies to all jobs (currently just dry-run). This is done by inserting:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the name: CI and the on: block in .github/workflows/ci.yml. No imports, methods, or additional definitions are needed because this is purely a configuration change in the workflow file.
