Reproducible build

[ozankaymak]

No description provided.

To fix this issue, we should add a permissions: block to the workflow to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimum required privileges. In this workflow, read-only access to repository contents is sufficient for the listed actions and steps (checkout, build, hash calculation, and uploading artifacts). No steps indicate a need for write-access to issues or pull requests.

The minimal fix is to insert at the workflow root a block:

permissions:
  contents: read

This will apply the restriction to all jobs in the workflow unless overridden within a job. The block should be added after the name: and before the on: key to conform to GitHub Actions workflow conventions.

No imports or additional definitions are required.
Files/regions/lines to change:

• File: .github/workflows/reproducible-builds.yml
• Line to insert after name: Reproducible Builds Verification (line 1).

---

The best way to fix this problem is to add a root-level permissions: block to the workflow file. This sets the minimal required GITHUB_TOKEN permission for all jobs in the workflow, unless overridden per job. Since this workflow does not modify repository contents or issues, the minimal recommended setting is contents: read. This should be inserted just after the workflow name: (on line 2), before the on: settings, following GitHub Actions best practices. No new imports or functionality changes are required; the only edit is to add the permissions block.

---

To resolve this issue, add an explicit permissions key at the root level of the workflow file .github/workflows/reproducible-builds.yml, immediately below the name field and above the on: trigger. This permissions block should grant only the minimum necessary access to the GITHUB_TOKEN. For the provided workflow, none of the jobs require write access to contents, but uploading artifacts is permitted with minimal read permissions.
The ideal fix is to add:

permissions:
  contents: read

directly after the name: ... line as a minimal starting point. If the jobs later require additional scopes (e.g., pull-requests: write), those can be added, but for now, restricting to read access on repository contents satisfies the least-privilege principle and the CodeQL guidance.

No other code, methods, or imports need to be added to implement this change.

To fix the problem, we need to explicitly set the permissions key in the workflow file. The permissions can be set globally (at the workflow level), or individually per job. In this case, since the error is flagged for the build-summary job, and none of the jobs have the permissions key, it is best to add a permissions block at the workflow root level just after the workflow name, before the on key. This will set minimal permissions (usually contents: read) for all jobs in the workflow. If specific jobs require more permissions, they can add a permissions block with broader scopes, but from the provided jobs, this does not seem necessary.

Required changes:

• Add at the root of the workflow (near the top, after name:), the block:

  permissions:
    contents: read

This restricts the access of the GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only for repository contents for all jobs.

No methods, imports, or definitions are necessary for this YAML change.
