Add explicit top-level permissions blocks to CI and CD workflows to satisfy the principle of least privilege and resolve two CodeQL actions/missing-workflow-permissions alerts. - CI.yaml: permissions: contents: read (read-only test runner) - CD.yaml: permissions: contents: write (creates git tags and GitHub releases) Resolves CodeQL alerts #1 (CI.yaml) and #2 (CD.yaml).
