Summary

The lint check failed due to a Go version mismatch between go.mod (1.25.8) and Makefile (1.24).

Root Cause

The GO_REQUIRED_VERSION variable in the root Makefile is set to 1.24, but go.mod declares Go version 1.25.8. The golangci-lint tool is built using the Go version specified by GO_REQUIRED_VERSION, so it was built with Go 1.24. When it tries to lint code that targets Go 1.25.8, it fails with the error: "the Go language version (go1.24) used to build golangci-lint is lower than the targeted Go version (1.25.8)".

This commonly occurs when bumping the Go version for CVE fixes without updating the corresponding Makefile variable.

Error Details

Error: can't load config: the Go language version (go1.24) used to build golangci-lint is lower than the targeted Go version (1.25.8)
Failed executing command with error: can't load config: the Go language version (go1.24) used to build golangci-lint is lower than the targeted Go version (1.25.8)
make[1]: *** [build/makelib/golang.mk:131: go.lint] Error 1
make: *** [build/makelib/common.mk:372: lint] Error 2

Recommendation

Update the GO_REQUIRED_VERSION in the Makefile from 1.24 to 1.25 to match the major.minor version in go.mod. This will ensure golangci-lint is built with a compatible Go version.

Fix:

GO_REQUIRED_VERSION ?= 1.25

Summary

The lint check failed because golangci-lint v2.1.2 was built with Go 1.24 and cannot lint code targeting Go 1.25.8.

Root Cause

While we correctly updated GO_REQUIRED_VERSION to 1.25, the GOLANGCILINT_VERSION is still set to 2.1.2 in the Makefile. This version of golangci-lint was pre-compiled with Go 1.24, making it incompatible with linting code that targets Go 1.25.8.

The golangci-lint binary version is independent of the GO_REQUIRED_VERSION environment variable - it's a pre-built binary that was compiled with a specific Go version when the golangci-lint release was made.

Error Details

Error: can't load config: the Go language version (go1.24) used to build golangci-lint is lower than the targeted Go version (1.25.8)

make[1]: *** [build/makelib/golang.mk:131: go.lint] Error 1
make: *** [build/makelib/common.mk:372: lint] Error 2

Recommendation

Update the GOLANGCILINT_VERSION in the Makefile from 2.1.2 to a newer version (e.g., 2.11.4) that was built with Go 1.25 or higher.

Fix:

GOLANGCILINT_VERSION = 2.11.4

Summary

The lint check failed with 12 noctx violations in internal/opentofu/opentofu.go. The linter requires using exec.CommandContext instead of exec.Command for all external command executions.

Root Cause

The noctx linter enforces a best practice that all command executions should accept a context parameter. This allows commands to be properly cancelled when their context is cancelled, preventing resource leaks and improving graceful shutdown behavior. The codebase currently uses exec.Command in 12 locations, which doesn't support context cancellation.

Recommendation

Code changes are required to fix this issue. All affected methods in internal/opentofu/opentofu.go need to be updated to:

1. Accept a context.Context parameter
2. Use exec.CommandContext instead of exec.Command
3. Update all callers to pass an appropriate context
