 ### Fixed
 - Fixed revision selection so the 64-revision cap prefers the newest matching branches and tags instead of pruning by ref-name order. [#1122](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1122)
 - Fixed infinite pagination loop in Gitea/Forgejo when an API token can only see a subset of org repos (the `x-total-count` header reports org total while token returns fewer items). [#1130](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1130)
+- Fixed missing workflow permissions in `docs-broken-links.yml` by adding explicit `permissions: {}` to follow least privilege principle. [#1131](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1131)
 - Fixed CodeQL missing-workflow-permissions alert by adding explicit empty permissions to `deploy-railway.yml`. [#1132](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1132)
