Implemented in 5ba8e46. The workflow now isolates nightly metadata update/commit into a repository_dispatch-only write-scoped job, while build jobs run with read-only repository permissions and separate dispatch/non-dispatch paths.

This patch mitigates excessive workflow-level permissions by replacing the workflow-level permissions block with an empty block and granting the minimum required scopes per job: contents write for the build job that performs git operations, and pages write plus id-token write for the deploy job that deploys to GitHub Pages.
