node-addon-api (scorecard)

Branch-Protection

- Delete unused branches v2.x-staging, v1.x-staging

- Make "code reviews" mandatory in your repository configuration. (Instructions for GitHub.)
- Enforce the rule for administrators / code owners as well. (Instructions for GitHub.)
Add fuzzing...? (scorecard criteria, nodejs example)

Hi @mhdawson,

... can you expand a bit on Make GitHub Actions CI workflow tokens read-only

From Assigning permissions to jobs - GitHub Docs:

You can use permissions to modify the default permissions granted to the GITHUB_TOKEN, adding or removing access as required, so that you only allow the minimum required access.

This is for the principle of least privilege, as discussed in the Token-Permissions Check documentation.

This was mostly addressed by the SecurityBot PR https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-examples/pull/214 , eg: https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-examples/pull/214/commits/a05f82c2fc9fc2b6b3668de65ce057b053fab6c8#diff-e98936aa52a6dd7416e4296e9628456227d834f7245967383fd9ff80fd985dadR9-R11 but it skipped a workflow that I added to the PR in this commit.

So once this PR is merged, we can say that the Token-Permissions issue has been addressed and we will receive full points.

@KevinEady I think I merged the PR you mentioned, so we should be able to close this now?
