## 1. Go Language Upgrade: 1.24 → 1.25.1

### Key Features & Improvements

#### 🚀 **Performance Enhancements**

- **Container-Aware GOMAXPROCS**: Automatically adjusts processor count based on container CPU limits
- **Experimental Green Tea GC**: 10-40% reduction in garbage collection overhead (enable with `GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc`)
- **Compiler Optimizations**: Faster slice allocation, improved stack allocation, DWARF5 debug info

#### 📦 **New Standard Library Features**

- **`testing/synctest`**: Testing concurrent code with deterministic behavior
- **Experimental `encoding/json/v2`**: Better performance and API design
- **Enhanced Crypto/Security**: Stricter TLS implementation, improved certificate validation

#### 🔧 **Development Tools**

- **Trace Flight Recorder**: Lightweight runtime execution trace capture
- **Improved Debugging**: DWARF5 debug information for smaller binaries and faster builds

### Platform Requirements & Breaking Changes

⚠️ **Important Changes**:

- **macOS**: Now requires macOS 12 Monterey or later (was macOS 11 Big Sur)
- **TLS/Crypto**: Stricter implementations may affect non-compliant servers
- **Generic Type Aliases**: Now fully supported (graduated from experimental)

### Implementation Results

✅ **Successfully Completed**:

- `go.mod`: Updated to `go 1.25.1` with `toolchain go1.25.1`
- `flake.nix`: Updated to use `go_latest` (resolves Nix version lag issue)
- `scripts/docker/Dockerfile`: Updated base image to `golang:1.25-alpine`
- All tests pass and build verified

**Nix Configuration Resolution**: Fixed nixpkgs version lag by using `go_latest` instead of the unavailable `go_1_25`.
