Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 18: Workflow does not contain permissions

Potential fix for https://github.com/digital-analytics-program/gov-wide-code/security/code-scanning/18

In general, to fix this problem you should add a permissions block either at the root of the workflow (to apply to all jobs) or within the specific job that CodeQL flagged. The block should grant only the minimal scopes needed; for a simple lint job that just checks out code and runs npm commands, contents: read is typically sufficient.

For this specific workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml), the minimal and least-invasive change is to add a permissions stanza under the lint job, right alongside runs-on. This keeps the change tightly scoped while not altering any existing steps or behavior. The result will look like:

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
    steps:
      ...

No additional imports, methods, or definitions are needed, since permissions is a standard GitHub Actions workflow key. The only file to change is .github/workflows/ci.yml, and the only region to update is the lint job header around line 7.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

I am cleaning up security warnings in advance of the assessment and this fixes the last open warning.
