Pins the default GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read on the per-Python-version build workflows: python-37.yml through python-315.yml. Each runs sphinx-build against the translated rst files and uploads the rendered HTML as a workflow artifact, with no GitHub API mutation.

Why

CVE-2025-30066 (March 2025 tj-actions/changed-files supply-chain compromise) exfiltrated GITHUB_TOKEN from workflow logs and the leaked token retained whatever scope was issued at the workflow level. Pinning per workflow caps that runtime authority irrespective of the repo or org default, gives drift protection if the default ever widens, and is credited per-file by the OpenSSF Scorecard Token-Permissions check.

YAML validated locally with yaml.safe_load on each touched file.

Motivation: CVE-2025-30066 (March 2025 tj-actions/changed-files
compromise) exfiltrated GITHUB_TOKEN from workflow logs. Per-workflow
caps bound runtime authority irrespective of repo or org default,
give drift protection if the default ever widens, and are credited
per-file by the OpenSSF Scorecard Token-Permissions check.
