WalkthroughFour GitHub Actions workflows now define or extend job-level permissions. The changes add ChangesWorkflow permissions
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to Two automation workflows in this change contain a formatting error that makes their configuration files unreadable, so the governance and mirroring automation will stop running entirely until the indentation is corrected. This should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Dedent permissions in both reusable workflow jobs.
permissions is currently indented beneath the scalar uses value in .github/workflows/governance.yml and beneath secrets: inherit in .github/workflows/mirror.yml. Both files fail YAML parsing. GitHub Actions cannot load them until permissions is aligned with uses (and secrets) at the job level.

GitHub refuses these runs at workflow-creation time:
Error calling workflow ... The workflow is requesting '<perm>', but is only allowed '<none>'.Aworkflow_calljob must grant a superset of the callee's declared permissions. This adds the canonical grant (actions: read,contents: read,security-events: write) that the healthy repos already carry.
