Potential fix for https://github.com/github-copilot-resources/copilot-metrics-viewer/security/code-scanning/11

To fix the issue, an explicit permissions block should be added to the test-docker-playwright job in the workflow file. This block should define the least privileges necessary for the job to run correctly, which is likely limited to contents: read. The permissions block will prevent the job from inheriting potentially permissive repository-level permissions and adhere to the principle of least privilege.

Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses a security code scanning alert by adding explicit permissions to the test-docker-playwright job in the GitHub Actions workflow. The change implements the principle of least privilege by restricting the job to only have read access to repository contents, preventing it from inheriting potentially broader repository-level permissions.

The permissions block should be evaluated to ensure contents: read is sufficient for all steps in this job. Consider if the job needs additional permissions for actions like uploading test artifacts or accessing secrets.
