fix(ci): grant callers the permissions their reusable workflows declare

[hyperpolymath]

GitHub refuses these runs at workflow-creation time: Error calling workflow ... The workflow is requesting '<perm>', but is only allowed '<none>'. A workflow_call job must grant a superset of the callee's declared permissions. This adds the canonical grant (actions: read, contents: read, security-events: write) that the healthy repos already carry.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated automated governance and secret-scanning workflows with explicit job-level access permissions.
  • No user-facing functionality or workflow behaviour has changed.

Walkthrough

The workflows add explicit job-level permissions to the governance and secret scanning jobs. Both jobs can read actions and repository contents and write security events.

Changes

Workflow permissions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Explicit job permissions .github/workflows/governance.yml, .github/workflows/secret-scanner.yml	The governance and secret-scan jobs now declare actions: read, contents: read, and security-events: write permissions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1cc2d

The indentation of the newly added permission settings is off by two spaces in both workflow files, so the governance and secret-scanning workflows cannot start at all. These automated checks would stop running until the indentation is corrected, so this should be fixed before merging.

Align both job-level permissions blocks with their job keys.

The blocks are indented beneath scalar values, so both workflow files fail YAML parsing before GitHub Actions creates the jobs.

The current raw blocks are:

  governance:
    uses: hyperpolymath/standards/.github/workflows/governance-reusable.yml@fcb566cfb8a86cea2d3666bf65a4f177a49b1313
      permissions:
        actions: read
        contents: read
        security-events: write

  secret-scan:
    uses: hyperpolymath/standards/.github/workflows/secret-scanner-reusable.yml@fcb566cfb8a86cea2d3666bf65a4f177a49b1313
    secrets: inherit
      permissions:
        actions: read
        contents: read
        security-events: write

Move permissions two spaces left in both files. It must align with uses and secrets.
