Pins the default GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read on the CI workflows that only do lint/build/test/verify (ansible-lint, golang_build, golang_lint, golang_tidy, golang_unit_test, verify_cli_documentation). None of these call the GitHub API beyond checkout. The deploy.yml workflow is intentionally left out since it actually exercises write paths. Same per-workflow least-privilege pattern that became standard after CVE-2025-30066 (the tj-actions/changed-files compromise exfiltrated unspoken token scopes from caller workflow logs in March). yaml.safe_load validated on each touched file.

deploy.ymlis intentionally left untouched since it does exercise write paths and the scope decision there belongs to maintainers.Motivation: CVE-2025-30066 (the
tj-actions/changed-filescompromise in March) exfiltrated unspokenGITHUB_TOKENscopes from caller workflow logs. Per-workflow caps make the blast radius predictable irrespective of repo or org default.YAML validated locally with
yaml.safe_loadon each touched file.
