I check this against the two CodeQL alerts it closes. Both changes are single-line additions, they scope the workflow tokens to read-only contents access, matching what the jobs actually do: checkout and a read-only check, no writes anywhere. The changelog entry follows the project's existing Fixed convention.

Closes #73
I add an explicit permissions: contents: read block to markdownlint.yml and linkcheck.yml. Both jobs only check out the repo and run a read-only check, they never write back to the repository, so read-only contents access is sufficient. I also record this in CHANGELOG.md as 1.2.3.
