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

Update the Go toolchain version to 1.16 or later using the \`go\` directive in \`go.mod\` or by installing a newer Go version.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repository that uses the \`io/fs\` package, which was introduced in Go 1.16. Their local environment is running Go 1.15. When they run \`go build\`, they get a cryptic error claiming the package is not in GOROOT. They might waste time reinstalling Go, checking their \`GOPATH\`, or assuming their Go installation is corrupted. The root cause is that the standard library package simply didn't exist in their installed Go version. Updating the local Go version or using a tool like \`gvm\` to switch to the project's required version resolves the issue because the newer standard library includes the missing package.
