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.
