Potential fix for https://github.com/BitPadLabs/GlowStatus/security/code-scanning/2

To fix the problem, you should add a permissions: key at the root level of the workflow YAML file, before the jobs: block. This ensures that the permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN are explicitly set to the minimal required scope for all jobs unless overridden locally. For this workflow, specifying permissions: contents: read will restrict the token so that it can only read repository contents, preventing accidental write access.

The changes should be made to .github/workflows/discord-setup.yml: add the following block after the workflow's name: and before the on: trigger:

permissions:
  contents: read

No imports, methods, or further definitions are necessary as this is a declarative change in the workflow YAML.
