Report #92906

[bug\_fix] package io/fs is not in GOROOT \(/usr/local/go/src/io/fs\)

Upgrade the Go toolchain to the version where the standard library package was introduced \(e.g., Go 1.16 for \`io/fs\`\), and update the \`go\` directive in \`go.mod\` to match.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a popular new library to their project and runs \`go build\`, only to be told that a standard library package like \`io/fs\` or \`embed\` is not in GOROOT. They are baffled, knowing it's a core package. They check their local Go version and realize they are on Go 1.15. They upgrade locally to Go 1.22, and it builds. However, their CI pipeline still fails with the same GOROOT error. The rabbit hole leads them to the \`go\` directive in \`go.mod\`, which specifies \`go 1.15\`. The CI pipeline uses this directive to select an older toolchain. Updating the \`go\` directive in \`go.mod\` to \`1.16\` \(or higher\) resolves the issue because it signals the minimum required Go version, ensuring the toolchain provides the newer standard library packages.
