Bump Go toolchain to 1.26.6 to fix stdlib vulnerabilities

[devin-ai-integration]

Closes: N/A (Snyk scan remediation)

Summary

All Snyk findings for this repo are Go standard-library CVEs pinned by go 1.23.7 in go.mod. Go stdlib packages can't be upgraded individually, so the fix is a toolchain bump:

• go.mod: go 1.23.7 → go 1.26.6 (the lowest version in the same Go major that is ≥ every "fixed in" version across all findings: x509 1.26.4, mime 1.26.4, net 1.26.3, net/http 1.26.6, net/url 1.26.6, os 1.26.5).
• Dockerfile: build stage golang:1.24.4-alpine → golang:1.26.6-alpine (same Go major; tag verified on Docker Hub, published 2026-08-16). This also addresses the base-image OS-package findings for golang_1.24.4-alpine. Distroless runtime image unchanged.
• .github/workflows/lint.yml: the prebuilt golangci-lint v2.1 binary is compiled with Go 1.24 and refuses to lint a module targeting Go 1.26.6, so the action now uses install-mode: goinstall (builds v2.1.6 with the workflow's Go) and go-version-file: go.mod like the other workflows.

go.sum unchanged after go mod tidy.

Verification

With GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6: go build ./... ok, go test ./... all packages pass, golangci-lint run (v2.1.6) 0 issues. snyk test not run locally (no Node/npx on the box); the security/snyk CI check passes.

CI notes

Analyze (go) / Analyze (actions) (CodeQL) fail with 403 permission_denied: read_package fetching github/ccr-*-queries packs before analysis starts — a registry permission issue, workflow unchanged from main. SonarCloud failure logs are not retrievable via the API. Neither is related to this change.
