Pull request overview
This PR addresses a security code scanning alert by adding explicit permissions to the Ruff workflow, following the principle of least privilege. The change restricts the workflow's default permissions to read-only access, which is appropriate since this workflow only performs linting and formatting checks without requiring write access to the repository.
Key changes:
- Added
permissions: contents: readblock to restrict workflow permissions to minimal required level

Potential fix for https://github.com/maurergroup/dfttoolkit/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the problem, we should add a
permissions:block at the root level of the workflow YAML (abovejobs:), thereby setting the minimal required permissions for all jobs. For this workflow, all tasks are read-only: Ruff linting and formatting jobs just analyze the source and produce local results, do not require pushing code, opening issues, or writing PRs. Therefore, the minimal permission required iscontents: read. The addition should be performed at the top level, after the workflownameand before or after theon:block, but beforejobs:. No further imports or method definitions are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
