Description

The readme shows the example:

permissions:
  id-token: write

But that is missing a read permission that would cause the action to be unable to checkout the repo.

It would be better to show a fuller example:

permissions:
  contents: read     # For actions/checkout
  id-token: write    # For Codecov OIDC

Find the README section showing the GitHub Actions OIDC permissions example. Update it to include contents: read for actions/checkout alongside id-token: write for Codecov OIDC, then review the rendered example to confirm both permissions and comments are clear.
