Description

since the version of the golang is 1.21.0, if the version specified in the go.work is not 1.21.0, it will report some error like following:

level=error msg="Running error: context loading failed: failed to load packages: failed to load with go/packages: err: exit status 1: stderr: go: module .xxx listed in go.work file requires go >= 1.21.0, but go.work lists go 1.21; 

can the version ignore the patch number?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported workspace-loading error with a go.work file using go 1.21 and a module requiring go 1.21.0. Trace where the Go version is read or compared; done means compatible patch-version forms no longer trigger the error, with regression coverage if the repository has relevant tests.
