Pull request overview
This PR adds explicit permissions blocks to two GitHub Actions workflows to address a security scanning alert about missing permissions configuration. The changes follow security best practices by explicitly declaring the required permissions for each workflow, moving away from the default permissive token access.
Key changes:
- Added
permissions: contents: writeto the Homebrew update workflow - Added
permissions: contents: readto the build workflow - Both permissions blocks are correctly placed at the workflow root level

Potential fix for https://github.com/NullPointerDepressiveDisorder/MiddleDrag/security/code-scanning/2
To fix this issue, you should add a
permissionsblock to the workflow, ideally at the root level so it applies to all jobs, limiting repository token access to only what is needed. For this workflow:contents: write(needed for pushing commits/tags/etc.), and possiblypackages: reador similar if required, but from the context onlycontents: writeis required.Best approach:
permissions:block directly beneath the workflowname:(line 2). In this case, addingcontents: writeis typical for workflows that push code changes.Files/regions to edit:
