Potential fix for https://github.com/DFanso/commit-msg/security/code-scanning/2

The best way to fix this problem is to explicitly set the permissions key for the package job to limit the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimum required permissions. Since the package job only handles artifact download and upload (and does not need to write to the repository or modify issues, PRs, etc.), it typically only requires contents: read.

To implement this, add a permissions: block with contents: read at the beginning of the package job definition (under line 91). No other imports or changes are necessary; simply edit the YAML for the workflow file.

Poem

I hopped through YAML fields so neat,
A tiny tweak beneath my feet—
“contents: read,” a modest key,
To guard the burrow’s registry.
With paws so light, I ship with ease,
Securely nibbling release cheese. 🐇✨
