Report #39566

[bug\_fix] package is not in GOROOT

Update the go directive in go.mod to the Go version that introduced the standard library package, and ensure the local or CI build environment is running that Go version or newer.

Journey Context:
A developer uses a relatively new standard library package like io/fs or embed in their code. It compiles perfectly on their local machine. They push to CI, and the pipeline fails with package io/fs is not in GOROOT. They double-check the spelling, thinking it's a typo, but it's correct. They then realize their local Go version is 1.22, but the CI pipeline is pinned to Go 1.15. The io/fs package was introduced in Go 1.16. The Go compiler looks in the local GOROOT for standard library packages, and since 1.15 doesn't have it, it fails. Updating the go.mod directive to 1.22 and updating the CI Go version resolves the mismatch.
