Report #62025

[bug\_fix] package io/ioutil is not in GOROOT

Replace all \`ioutil\` imports and functions with their modern equivalents: \`os.ReadFile\`, \`os.WriteFile\`, \`os.MkdirTemp\`, \`os.CreateTemp\`, and \`io.ReadAll\`.

Journey Context:
A developer upgrades their local Go version from 1.15 to 1.16\+ to use a new feature. Suddenly, their previously stable project fails to build, complaining that \`io/ioutil\` is not in the GOROOT. They check their Go installation, verify their GOROOT environment variable, and even reinstall Go, but the error remains. The root cause is that \`io/ioutil\` was officially deprecated in Go 1.16 and its functions were moved into the \`io\` and \`os\` packages. In later Go versions, the package was fully removed from the standard library. The fix works because replacing the deprecated calls with the exact equivalent functions in \`io\` and \`os\` aligns the code with the current standard library layout, resolving the missing package error.
