Pull Request Overview
This PR addresses a security code scanning alert by adding explicit permissions to the test-docker-playwright job in the GitHub Actions workflow. The change implements the principle of least privilege by restricting the job to only have read access to repository contents, preventing it from inheriting potentially broader repository-level permissions.

The permissions block should be evaluated to ensure contents: read is sufficient for all steps in this job. Consider if the job needs additional permissions for actions like uploading test artifacts or accessing secrets.

@copilot why are you adding more permissions?

@claude can you fix security issues with GH workflows - specify permissions explicitly |

@copilot fix all other security alerts for permissions in GH workflows |
Potential fix for https://github.com/github-copilot-resources/copilot-metrics-viewer/security/code-scanning/11
To fix the issue, an explicit
permissionsblock should be added to thetest-docker-playwrightjob in the workflow file. This block should define the least privileges necessary for the job to run correctly, which is likely limited tocontents: read. Thepermissionsblock will prevent the job from inheriting potentially permissive repository-level permissions and adhere to the principle of least privilege.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
