Description
We shouldn't assume tools are locally installed as that introduces friction, but more importantly, makes the dev env non hermetic. In general we use `go tools` (with a dedicated Go module under `hack/tools` for isolation) for tools that can be distributed with go modules, and for those that can't (like clang-format), we have as script that fetches a pinned version (see protoc as an example[1]).
