Summary
persist-credentials: falseonactions/checkoutand explain why.python.yml.On tag builds the caller grants
contents: write, and the same job runspip install -r requirements.txt(unhashed), pytest, and pyinstaller. With the default checkout, the token sits in.git/config, where any installed package can read it. The action doesn't need git credentials; it gets the token through thetokeninput only.Found by a security scan (Low: defense in depth).
