This PR adds the required contents: write permission to GitHub Actions workflows that perform git push operations.

Changes Made

Added permissions: contents: write to the following workflow jobs that perform git push operations:

  • prepare-release-branch.yml:

    • create-pull-request-against-release-branch job (performs git push at lines 78, 105)
    • create-pull-request-against-main job (performs git push at line 196)
  • backport.yml:

    • backport job (performs git push at line 41)
  • prepare-patch-release.yml:

    • prepare-patch-release job (performs git push at line 79)

Why This Change Is Needed

GitHub Actions workflows need explicit contents: write permission to push changes to repositories. Without this permission, the git push operations in these workflows would fail with permission errors.

All additions include the trailing comment # required for pushing changes as specified in the issue requirements.

Verification

  • ✅ All 5 git push operations across the repository are now covered
  • ✅ YAML syntax validation passed
  • ✅ Changes are minimal and surgical (only 8 lines added across 3 files)
  • ✅ No existing functionality is modified

Fixes #34.
