Description

I noticed that after moving the project back to non-v2 the Go version was added to the go.mod file, which is good. However it was added as a very late version which can be overly restrictive for projects using this package. Please consider lowering it to something sensible, perhaps v1.23.

Research direction

The issue identifies go.mod as the relevant file; inspect its Go version requirement and compare it with the project's supported compatibility needs. Done means the requirement is lowered from v1.24.2 to a sensible earlier version such as v1.23, while keeping the module configuration valid.
