Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
### Describe the bug
Attempting to start a Go AppHost fails when connecting through the backchannel with a timeout error.
### Expected Behavior
The apphost starts up.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Create a new apphost using `aspire init` and selecting go
2. Run `aspire run` on that apphost, it will timeout on connecting.
### Exceptions (if any)

A log file, no exceptions however.

### Anything else?
Go 1.26
I did test Python as well, and it starts up every time. No matter how many times I try with Go it fails with the same error. So this does seem like its exclusively a problem with Go app hosts.
