Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Privilege Escalation: Default GitHub Actions permissions allow write access to the repository token, enabling a compromised job to push code or modify releases; the fix restricted permissions to read-only and removed a token-requiring cancellation action.

Credential Exposure: actions/checkout persists the GITHUB_TOKEN in .git/config, exposing it to any subsequent step or command injection; disabling persist-credentials removes this leak path.

Supply Chain: Using mutable tags like actions/checkout@v3 allows a compromised or replaced action version to execute arbitrary code in CI; pinning to full commit SHAs eliminates this risk.
