What Changed

• Updated minimum Go version requirement for benchstat from 1.23 to 1.25 throughout .github/actions/setup-benchstat/action.yml
• Modified version check logic to compare against 1.25 instead of 1.23 (changed condition from [ "$MINOR" -lt 23 ] to [ "$MINOR" -lt 25 ])
• Updated input descriptions, output descriptions, comments, and user-facing messages to reflect the new 1.25+ requirement
• Changed example Go versions in documentation from "1.24.x, 1.22" to "1.25.x, 1.24" and error message examples from "1.23, 1.24.x" to "1.25, 1.26.x"

Why It Was Necessary

• Benchstat tool now requires a newer version of Go (1.25+) to function properly
• Prevents installation attempts on incompatible Go versions that would fail
• Ensures users are informed early in the workflow if their Go version is insufficient

Testing Performed

• Verify the version check logic correctly parses and compares Go versions against the new 1.25 threshold
• Test that workflows using Go 1.24 or earlier properly skip benchstat installation with appropriate warning messages
• Confirm workflows using Go 1.25+ proceed with benchstat installation as expected

Impact / Risk

• Breaking Change: Workflows using Go versions 1.23 or 1.24 will now skip benchstat installation (previously these versions were supported)
• Risk: Low - the action gracefully skips installation with clear messaging rather than failing; existing workflows on older Go versions will continue to run but without benchstat
• Migration: Teams using Go 1.23-1.24 must upgrade to Go 1.25+ to continue using benchstat functionality
