Pull Request Overview
This PR adds explicit permissions to the pr.yml GitHub Actions workflow, implementing a security best practice by following the principle of least privilege. The change aligns with the existing pattern already established in the publish.yml workflow file.
- Added job-level
permissions: contents: readto the test job - Grants minimal permissions needed for the workflow's read-only operations (checkout, npm ci, lint, build, test)
