Make chronicle work with newer Go versions

**What happened**:

I was trying to release chronicle, and I had to downgrade my local go to make the `make release` command in this repo work.

**What you expected to happen**:

That chronicle would support latest go.

**How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)**:

1. Install Go 1.23
2. Clone this repo
3. Run `make bootstrap` (or `make release`, but I think bootstrap is enough.

**Anything else we need to know?**:

Might be a good time to switch to Taskfile as well

**Environment**:
- Output of `chronicle version`:

Start by running `make bootstrap` with Go 1.23, then compare the result with `make release` and inspect the build configuration those commands invoke. Identify what prevents either command from completing with the newer Go version, and verify that both commands work afterward.
