[LOW] actions: write grants broader workflow permissions beyond cache deletion

actions: write is the minimal permission that satisfies actions/stale's requirement to delete its _state cache entry, and the inline comment is accurate. However, this permission also implicitly allows cancelling, re-running, or deleting other workflow runs in the repository. The risk is low given the job only runs the pinned actions/stale action, but worth noting for awareness.

No change needed — this is informational only.
