Report #10526

[bug\_fix] go: module github.com/example/lib requires go >= 1.21, but go version is go1.20

Upgrade the local Go toolchain to version 1.21 or higher. Alternatively, if you are the library author and your code is backward compatible, lower the go directive in your go.mod.

Journey Context:
A developer updates a dependency using go get -u and attempts to build. The build fails, stating the dependency requires Go 1.21, but their local version is 1.20. In older Go versions, the go directive in go.mod was treated as a recommendation, but starting with Go 1.21, it is strictly enforced. The developer checks their Go version and confirms it is outdated. They update their local Go installation to 1.21, and the build succeeds because the toolchain now satisfies the dependency's strict version requirement.
