ci(release): drop workflow-level write permissions#431
Merged
Conversation
Scorecard flagged the release workflow for granting contents and packages write at the workflow level. Default to contents: read and elevate to contents: write only in the two jobs that create the draft release and upload its assets. No job pushes packages, so the packages: write grant is removed entirely; release-gate already declares its own contents: write / packages: read block.

Summary
contents: readat the workflow level.contents: writeonly to the two jobs that need it:create-release(creates the draft release) andupload-assets(uploads release assets).packages: writegrant: no job in this workflow pushes packages.release-gatealready declares its owncontents: write/packages: readblock, anddocs-walkthroughcalls a reusable workflow that declarescontents: readitself.Why
OpenSSF Scorecard's Token-Permissions check scored 0 because the workflow granted write tokens to every job. Least-privilege tokens limit the blast radius if any job step is compromised.
Verification
actionlintpasses with no new findings (remaining shellcheck notes are pre-existing inline-script style issues untouched by this change).summaryonly writes to the step summary,docs-walkthroughinherits nothing beyond read, and the two elevated jobs match the exact API calls they make (release create/edit, asset upload).
