Description
## Summary
Upgrade the Go toolchain from **1.24** to **1.26** across the ACN repository.
## Prerequisites
- [ ] #4364 (FIPS-ready base image migration) must be merged first
## Motivation
- Go 1.26 enforces FIPS-compliant system crypto
- Security patches and performance improvements
- Ecosystem compatibility
## Files to Update
### Template-managed (auto via `make dockerfiles`)
- [ ] `build/images.mk` GO_IMG: `1.24-azurelinux3.0` → `1.26-azurelinux3.0`
- [ ] Regenerate all Dockerfiles: `make dockerfiles`
### Manual updates
- [ ] `go.mod`: `go 1.24.1` → `go 1.26` + `go mod tidy`
- [ ] `.pipelines/build/scripts/install-go.sh`: update `DEFAULT_IMAGE` SHA
- [ ] `bpf-prog/ipv6-hp-bpf/linux.Dockerfile`: update to Go 1.26 MCR SHA
- [ ] `npm/linux.Dockerfile`: update tag to `1.26.x`
- [ ] `npm/windows.Dockerfile`: update tag to `1.26.x`
- [ ] `.devcontainer/Dockerfile`: `VARIANT="1.24"` → `"1.26"`
### SHA Lookup Commands
```bash
# azurelinux3.0
skopeo inspect docker://mcr.microsoft.com/oss/go/microsoft/golang:1.26-azurelinux3.0 --format "{{.Digest}}"
# MCR Go (for bpf-prog)
skopeo inspect docker://mcr.microsoft.com/oss/go/microsoft/golang:1.26 --format "{{.Digest}}"
```
## Verification
- [ ] `docker run --rm @ go version` confirms Go 1.26
- [ ] Pipeline passes — check "Install msft-go" logs for correct SHA
- [ ] `go mod tidy` completes without errors
- [ ] ARM and AMD builds both succeed
Contributor guide
Research direction
Wait for #4364, then review build/images.mk, go.mod, .pipelines/build/scripts/install-go.sh, the listed Dockerfiles, and .devcontainer/Dockerfile. Run make dockerfiles, update the specified Go versions and image SHAs, run go mod tidy, and verify go version, pipeline logs, and ARM and AMD builds as described.
