/test lint

[germanparente]

The base branch already has go 1.25.0. So this lint failure affects the base branch too — it just happened that previous PRs ran before the go version was bumped. This is a pre-existing issue not caused by our PR.

The lint failure is not related to PR #613. The base branch (release-4.22) has go 1.25.0 in its go.mod, but the CI uses golangci-lint v1.64.8 which was built with Go 1.24 and refuses to lint Go 1.25 code. This is a base branch infrastructure issue that needs the golangci-lint version bumped upstream — nothing we need to fix in our CVE PR.

the lint job fails due to a Go version mismatch

Error: can't load config: the Go language version (go1.24) used to build golangci-lint is lower than the targeted Go version (1.25.0)
