Update Go version from 1.23.0 to 1.24.4 in go.mod and Dockerfile

[Copilot]

Summary

This PR updates the Go language version from 1.23.0 to 1.24.4 across the repository to use the latest stable Go release.

Changes Made

1. Updated go.mod

• Changed go 1.23.0 → go 1.24.4
• The toolchain go1.24.1 line was automatically removed by go mod tidy as it's redundant when the system Go version matches the target version

2. Updated Dockerfile

• Changed ARG GO_VERSION=1.23.0 → ARG GO_VERSION=1.24.4

Verification

✅ Build Process: All builds complete successfully with make build
✅ Tests: All existing tests continue to pass with make test
✅ Dependencies: Go modules resolve correctly with go mod tidy
✅ No Breaking Changes: Application functionality preserved

Technical Notes

The toolchain directive in go.mod was automatically removed during go mod tidy because the system already has Go 1.24.4 installed. This is expected Go behavior - when the system Go version matches the required version, the toolchain line becomes redundant and is automatically cleaned up.

The upgrade ensures the project benefits from the latest Go 1.24.4 improvements, security fixes, and performance enhancements while maintaining full backward compatibility.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

Update the Go language version from 1.23 to 1.24.4 in both the go.mod file and the Dockerfile of the repository. Here's what needs to be done:

1. Update go.mod:

   • Change go 1.23.0 to go 1.24.4.
   • Update toolchain go1.24.1 (if it exists) to toolchain go1.24.4.

2. Update Dockerfile:

   • Modify ARG GO_VERSION=1.23.0 to ARG GO_VERSION=1.24.4.

Ensure that the changes are consistent throughout the repository, and verify that the build process still works as expected after the updates.
