Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 5: Workflow does not contain permissions

[lenucksi]

Potential fix for https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/security/code-scanning/5

To fix the problem, we should add a permissions block to the workflow file .github/workflows/book.yml. The block should be added at the workflow root (top-level, after name: and before jobs:), so the permissions apply to all jobs in the workflow. The least privilege required is contents: write so the job can push changes to the repo (required by the auto-commit step). Other permissions (such as pull-requests: write) are not required for this workflow, as it does not modify pull requests or other resources. The block should be added after the workflow name: and before the jobs: key (best practice is before any uses of the jobs).

No imports or additional methods/definitions are needed; it's a change to the workflow configuration only.

hi @lenucksi. As this was suggested by Copilot, how would you go about testing if this works?

We could merge to main, and then check if (a) the workflow still runs, and (b) the code scanning alert goes away?
And if something breaks, we roll back?

I don't know of other ways to test github actions locally.
