📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project updates Go version metadata and build environments, adopts generic error and reflection assertions, and replaces local test pointer helpers with built-in new expressions. Test behavior remains unchanged.

Changes

Go modernization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Go version requirements and build images `AGENTS.md`, `go.mod`, `internal/tools/go.mod`, `.github/workflows/*`, `.promu.yml`, `ui/app/Makefile`	Documentation and module files require Go 1.26. CI, Promu, and UI builds use Go 1.27 images or versions.
Generic error and reflection assertions `cli/silence_import.go`, `eventrecorder/recorder.go`, `kafka/errors.go`, `notify/retry_stage.go`, `notify/sns/sns.go`, `template/template.go`, `notify/telegram/telegram.go`	Error handling uses `errors.AsType`. SNS declarations use the local `SNSConfig` type. Reflected string-key checks use `reflect.TypeAssert`.
Built-in pointer construction and test syntax `api/v2/api_test.go`, `config/notifiers_test.go`, `notify/email/email_test.go`, `notify/jira/jira_test.go`, `test/cli/acceptance/cli_test.go`, `test/with_api_v2/acceptance/*`, `cluster/tls_transport_test.go`, `.golangci.yml`, `Makefile`	Tests replace local pointer helpers with built-in `new` expressions, remove obsolete helpers and SNS validation coverage, and simplify byte-slice literals. Lint configuration and the golangci-lint version are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e3905

The PR raises the minimum Go version and updates related tooling configuration; the lint configuration may disable two previously enforced formatting rules, reducing consistency checks until corrected. This is a bounded, non-runtime risk that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Don't we need some updates to our github workflows as well?

Signed-off-by: Christoph Maser <christoph.maser+github@gmail.com>

Bumps `.github/workflows`, `promu` and UI build container. We generally keep the minimum required version (1.26) and these versions exactly one minor version apart. Fixes done via `golanglint-ci run --fix`. Signed-off-by: Solomon Jacobs <solomonjacobs@protonmail.com>

This version is required, since the previous was not compatible with Go 1.27. Signed-off-by: Solomon Jacobs <solomonjacobs@protonmail.com>
