Potential fix for https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-framework/security/code-scanning/5

In general, to fix this issue you explicitly define the permissions for each workflow or job so the GITHUB_TOKEN has only the scopes required. For jobs that only run shell commands and check other jobs’ results, you can either set permissions: {} to remove all default scopes, or set a very limited permission such as contents: read if you want to be conservative and future‑proof minimal read operations.

For this specific workflow, the detect-modules and golangci-lint jobs already define explicit permissions. Only the golangci-lint-result job is missing them. The best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a permissions block to golangci-lint-result. Since that job merely evaluates needs.golangci-lint.result and exits with a status code, it does not actually need any GitHub API access; therefore, permissions: {} is sufficient and most restrictive. If you prefer to follow the pattern used elsewhere in the workflow, you can also use permissions: contents: read, but the most minimal and clearly safe is an empty permissions map.

Concretely, in .github/workflows/golangci_lint.yml, add a permissions key under the golangci-lint-result job (around line 50) with an empty mapping. No imports or additional methods are needed, as this is only a YAML configuration change.
