Report #24316

[bug\_fix] go: go.mod file indicates go 1.22, but maximum supported version is 1.21

Upgrade the local Go toolchain to a version equal to or greater than the version specified in the 'go' directive of the go.mod file.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repository and runs 'go test', but gets an error complaining about the maximum supported Go version. They check their Go version and realize they are running Go 1.21, while the project recently upgraded its go.mod to 'go 1.22'. They consider simply changing the go.mod file back to 1.21, but doing so causes compilation errors because the codebase uses features introduced in 1.22 \(like loop variable semantic changes or new standard library packages\). The Go toolchain strictly enforces this because the 'go' directive dictates language semantics and standard library availability. The only correct fix is to upgrade the local Go installation to 1.22\+, allowing the toolchain to properly interpret the syntax and link the correct standard library versions.
