Potential fix for https://github.com/Tyrowin/gochat/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, add a permissions block at the workflow or job level to explicitly restrict the permissions granted to the workflow. Since the job simply makes a web request and does not interact with the repository, the minimal permissions setting is permissions: {}, which sets all permissions to none. This can be set at the workflow root (top-level) or job level. The best practice is to add the permissions block at the top just below name: and before on:, ensuring that no jobs can escalate permissions unless explicitly overridden.

File/region to change: At the top of .github/workflows/go-report-card-refresh.yml, add the permissions: {} block under the workflow name.

What is needed: No imports or new methods are needed, just the addition of a permissions: {} YAML block at the correct location.
