fix(ci/release): grant contents:write to goreleaser job#361
Merged
Conversation
The default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions are read-only in many repo/org
configurations, which makes the goreleaser action fail at the "scm
releases" step with `403 Resource not accessible by integration`
when trying to PATCH the GitHub Release.
Deny everything at the workflow level (`permissions: {}`) and grant
`contents: write` only to the goreleaser job, following the
least-privilege principle. Mirrors vulsio/go-cpe-dictionary#275.
