Summary of Changes

Hello @bhandras, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on essential build system maintenance by bumping the Go language version specified in the go.mod file and updating the Docker builder image to a more precise and recent version. These changes aim to keep the project's build environment current and leverage the latest stable releases of its core dependencies.

Highlights

• Go Version Update: I've updated the required Go language version in go.mod from 1.23.6 to 1.23.12. This ensures the project is built and tested against a more recent and stable Go release.
• Docker Builder Image Bump: The Dockerfile now uses golang:1.24.6-alpine as the builder image, upgrading from the previous golang:1.24-alpine. This aligns the Docker build environment with a specific patch version of Go 1.24.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Go version in go.mod to 1.23.12 and pins the Docker builder image to golang:1.24.6-alpine. The changes are straightforward dependency bumps.

My main feedback is regarding the discrepancy between the Go version specified in go.mod and the one used in the Dockerfile. For better maintainability and to avoid potential inconsistencies, I've recommended aligning these versions.
