Pull request overview
This PR addresses a code scanning security alert by adding an explicit permissions: block to the test-run-examples.yml GitHub Actions workflow. The change restricts the GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read only, following the principle of least privilege for workflows that only need to checkout code and run builds.
Key changes:
- Added
permissions:block withcontents: readto limit GITHUB_TOKEN scope - Improves workflow security by explicitly defining minimal required permissions

Potential fix for https://github.com/DevCycleHQ/dotnet-server-sdk/security/code-scanning/3
To resolve the issue, add an explicit
permissions:block at the workflow root level (above or belowenv:but beforejobs:) to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN permissions. Since the steps shown (actions/checkout,setup-dotnet, build/run commands) do not require write access to repository resources, specifyingcontents: readis sufficient and adheres to the principle of least privilege. Edit.github/workflows/test-run-examples.ymlaccordingly. No further imports or code definitions are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
