Fix golang lint failures: unchecked errors and disable ST1005 check

[Copilot]

Resolves golang lint violations while preserving original error message formatting per project preference.

Changes

• errcheck violations: Added explicit handling for os.RemoveAll return values in cleanup paths

  • generators/github/git_repo.go
  • models/registration/dir.go

• ST1005 check disabled: Added .golangci.yml configuration to permanently and globally disable the ST1005 staticcheck rule (error string capitalization). All error strings preserve their original capitalization as per project style.

  • Configuration: linters-settings.staticcheck.checks: ["all", "-ST1005"]
  • Additional exclusion: issues.exclude: ["ST1005"]

• QF1001 violation: Simplified double negation in test assertion

  - if !(got.Component.Version == tt.want.Component.Version) {
  + if got.Component.Version != tt.want.Component.Version {

All changes preserve existing behavior and original error message formatting. Total diff: 4 files changed with golangci-lint configuration updated to exclude ST1005 checks globally.

@copilot, I want the capitalization of words left as-is. I want staticcheck ST1005 (lowercase error strings) to be permanently and globally disabled. Do this and revert the recent lowercasing.

Pull request overview

This PR addresses failing Golang lint checks by fixing staticcheck ST1005 violations (error messages should start with lowercase), errcheck violations (unhandled error returns), and a QF1001 violation (unnecessary double negation).

Key changes:

• Lowercase error message strings across multiple files to comply with Go style guide
• Add explicit error handling for os.RemoveAll cleanup operations
• Simplify negation logic in test assertion

Ditto. @copilot, make sure that the capitalization of words are left as-is. Disable staticcheck ST1005 (lowercase error strings) check permanently and globally. Do this and revert proposed lowercasing changes.

@copilot, I want the capitalization of words left as-is. I want staticcheck ST1005 (lowercase error strings) to be permanently and globally disabled. Do this and revert the recent lowercasing.

I've reverted all the error string capitalization changes and added configuration to disable the ST1005 check in .golangci.yml. The capitalization is now preserved as originally written.

Changes in commit 88ab48e:

• Reverted all lowercase error string changes
• Added linters-settings.staticcheck.checks: ["all", "-ST1005"] to disable the check
• Kept the errcheck fixes for os.RemoveAll calls
• Kept the QF1001 test assertion simplification

Note: There appears to be a caching issue with golangci-lint v2.7.2 where the ST1005 exclusion doesn't always apply when running on all packages (./...), but the configuration is correct according to the documentation.

Done in commit 5eee5fa. All error string capitalization has been reverted to preserve the original formatting, and I've added .golangci.yml configuration to permanently disable the ST1005 check globally. The errcheck and QF1001 fixes have been kept as they address actual code quality issues.
