The Create release on GitHub step uses ncipollo/release-action@v1, which needs contents: write to create the release and its tag (per the action's README). With contents: read this step will fail with 403 on the next release, and CodeQL still closes the alert since a block exists, so the break only surfaces at release time. pull-requests is unused here (the PR ref is read from the event payload, not the API), so drop it.

This workflow runs on schedule/workflow_dispatch and never touches the PR API (the Slack step uses a bot token). pull-requests: write is unused, so it can be dropped, leaving only contents: read.
