go-version

Field	Value
Probe ID	go-version
Category	runtime
Severity	error
Inferred from	go.mod (go directive), .tool-versions, mise.toml

What it means

The repo’s go.mod declares go X.Y (or stricter) and your local go version is lower. Building will produce inscrutable errors about syntax or stdlib symbols introduced in a later release.

How it’s detected

1. Parse the go directive from go.mod. Translate go 1.22 into a >=1.22 constraint (Go’s “newer is fine” semantics).
2. go version is exec’d, the go1.X.Y token is extracted.
3. Mismatch produces one finding.

If go.mod is absent the probe is silent.

Common causes

• Apple Silicon /usr/local/go from a year-old binary tarball.
• mise or asdf configured to pin Go for the repo but not yet mise install-ed.
• Linux distro packages (apt install golang) lagging months behind upstream.

Recipes

The probe selects one fix based on the tools available on your machine. See the YAML source for the full Fix definitions.
