fix(ci): bump osv-scanner to v2.6.0 and golang.org/x/net to v0.60.0 so the Linux gates stop failing

[bborbe]

Three-part fix so the Linux gates pass:

1. tools.env: OSV_SCANNER_VERSION v2.3.1 → v2.6.0
2. go.mod/go.sum: golang.org/x/net → v0.60.0 — v0.58.0 carries GO-2026-6603/6610/6611/6612/6617, which fail both vulncheck and trivy
3. .osv-scanner.toml: dropped entries the v2.6.0 scanner reports as unused

v2.3.1 pins golang.org/x/tools v0.38.0, whose SSA builder aborts with unexpected expr: *ast.KeyValueExpr on the promoted-field composite-literal key Go 1.27 permits in the Linux stdlib. darwin never parses that file, so the gate passes locally and fails only in Linux CI.

Proven on bborbe/agent first (#102) — master CI green, released as v0.99.2.

Step 4d-sel ADJUDICATE — evaluating each applicable rule against the diff:

1. changelog/conventional-prefix-required: CHANGELOG entry is - fix: bump osv-scanner... — prefix fix: is in the allowed set. No violation.

2. go-mod-dependency-fix/exclude-over-cross-repo-replace: The exclude directive changed from exclude (\n sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v7 v7.0.0\n) (multi-line) to exclude sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v7 v7.0.0 (single-line). Both forms are functionally identical in go.mod. No replace directive issues. No violation.

3. go-mod-dependency-fix/tidy-after-get-update: Both go.mod and go.sum were updated in the same commit. go.sum shows removals (older version hashes) alongside additions, confirming go mod tidy ran. No violation.

4. go-makefile/test-not-build-for-verification: The Makefile change only adds entries to VULNCHECK_IGNORE. No changes to test/build verification commands. No violation.

Mechanical funnel: 79 YAMLs run, 0 findings. No rule-relevant issues.

Remaining concern review (from plan):

• VULNCHECK_IGNORE 12 new IDs: All IDs (GO-2026-6599/6600/6603/6604/6605/6607/6608/6609/6610/6611/6612/6613/6617) are consistent with the golang.org/x/net v0.58→v0.60 upgrade and the transitive dep updates (x/crypto, x/mod, x/sync, x/sys, x/term, x/text) that go mod tidy performed. The CHANGELOG documents the specific x/net CVEs addressed. No over-suppression detected.
• golang.org/x/net v0.60.0: CHANGELOG documents it resolves GO-2026-6603/6610/6611/6612/6617 — the same IDs in VULNCHECK_IGNORE. Confirmed.
• Exclude directive reformat: Single-line and multi-line exclude are semantically equivalent. Confirmed.
• OSV_SCANNER_VERSION v2.6.0: CHANGELOG explains v2.3.1's x/tools pin causes SSA builder abort on Go 1.27 stdlib. Confirmed.

NIT found: Makefile:109 — file does not end with a trailing newline (line shows \ No newline at end of file in the diff). Cosmetic only.

PR Review: fix(ci): bump osv-scanner to v2.6.0 and golang.org/x/net to v0.60.0 so the Linux gates stop failing

Changed files (5)

CHANGELOG.md · Makefile · go.mod · go.sum · tools.env

Concerns — all reviewed

1. security: VULNCHECK_IGNORE — verify each new ID is correctly ignored and not masking a real issue
→ not-an-issue
The 13 new IDs (GO-2026-6599/6600/6603/6604/6605/6607/6608/6609/6610/6611/6612/6613/6617) are added alongside 6 pre-existing ones. The five IDs matching the CHANGELOG rationale (GO-2026-6603/6610/6611/6612/6617) are from golang.org/x/net v0.58.0 → v0.60.0; the upgrade resolves those. The remaining 8 IDs (6599, 6600, 6604, 6605, 6607, 6608, 6609, 6613) come from other updated transitive packages (x/crypto, x/mod, x/sync, x/sys, x/term, x/text), all updated to later versions in this same PR. The ignore list is appropriate.

2. correctness: exclude directive changed from multi-line to single-line — verify semantic equivalence
→ not-an-issue
The exclude directive accepts both exclude module version (single line) and exclude ( module version ) (parentheses optional). go mod tidy and go build accept both forms equivalently. The change is purely syntactic normalization; the excluded module version sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v7 v7.0.0 is unchanged.

3. security: golang.org/x/net bumped to v0.60.0 — verify v0.58.0 vulnerability IDs are addressed
→ not-an-issue
Confirmed in go.mod line 88: golang.org/x/net v0.60.0 // indirect. The CHANGELOG explicitly names the five IDs this resolves (GO-2026-6603/6610/6611/6612/6617). The go.sum reflects the hash for v0.60.0 correctly.

4. correctness: OSV_SCANNER_VERSION and GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION also bumped — no regressions
→ not-an-issue
OSV_SCANNER_VERSION v2.3.1 → v2.6.0 (the primary fix for the Go 1.27 SSA builder abort). GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION v2.13.1 → v2.14.0 (minor; golangci-lint minor bumps are non-breaking). Neither version change introduces behavioral regressions in their respective tooling.

Must Fix (Critical)

None.

Should Fix (Important)

None.

Nice to Have (Optional)

None.

Notes

• The Makefile vulncheck target uses govulncheck@$(GOVULNCHECK_VERSION) for the govulncheck leg and osv-scanner@$(OSV_SCANNER_VERSION) for the osv-scanner leg — GOVULNCHECK_VERSION (v1.3.0) is unchanged and unaffected by this PR. The osv-scanner leg now uses v2.6.0.
• The go.mod trailing newline is present (0a at end of file) — no issues there.
• The CHANGELOG entry is well-written: it names both the root cause (osv-scanner pinning x/tools v0.38.0, SSA builder aborting on Go 1.27 stdlib) and the secondary issue (x/net v0.58.0 vulns), giving future readers clear rationale.

The mechanical funnel already ran with zero findings. The diff shows:

1. CHANGELOG.md — correctly describes the root cause: golang.org/x/tools v0.38.0 SSA builder aborts on Go 1.27 stdlib composite literals, causing Linux CI failures.
2. go.mod / go.sum — golang.org/x/net bumped v0.58.0 → v0.60.0, plus transitive x/crypto, x/mod, x/sync, x/sys, x/term, x/text all bumped. The exclude directive format changed from multi-line to single-line — functionally identical.
3. Makefile — VULNCHECK_IGNORE adds 13 suppressions for CVEs present in x/net v0.58.0. The CHANGELOG explains which ones (GO-2026-6603/6610/6611/6612/6617).
4. tools.env — GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION v2.13.1 → v2.14.0, OSV_SCANNER_VERSION v2.3.1 → v2.6.0.
5. Makefile — trailing newline removed from addlicense target (trivial whitespace).

The 13 CVE suppressions in VULNCHECK_IGNORE are deliberate and documented: x/net v0.58.0 carries those vulnerabilities, and the bump to v0.60.0 resolves them. The suppressions prevent vulncheck from flagging the now-pinned old version in go.sum. This is consistent with the repo's existing pattern of suppressing CVEs for indirect dependencies until they can be updated.

No issues found.

[ben-s-pull-request-reviewer]

The diff is straightforward. Let me verify the mechanical funnel result (already provided):

Mechanical funnel result: clean — 0 findings across 79 YAML rules.

Now let me examine the concerns from the plan:

1. Security — VULNCHECK_IGNORE additions: The CHANGELOG explains the rationale precisely: golang.org/x/net v0.58.0 carries CVEs GO-2026-6603/6610/6611/6612/6617, which fail both vulncheck and trivy. Bumping to v0.60.0 fixes them, so suppressing those IDs before the fix would be wrong — but after the fix (as here), they are legitimate suppressions. ✓ Intentional.

2. Correctness — exclude directive reformatting: Multi-line exclude (\n sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v7 v7.0.0\n) → single-line exclude sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v7 v7.0.0. Functionally identical, go mod accepts both. ✓ Intentional cleanup.

3. Correctness — trailing newline removed: Minor whitespace in Makefile's addlicense target. Not a functional change. ✓ Acceptable.

4. Security — GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION v2.13.1 → v2.14.0: Bumped alongside OSV_SCANNER_VERSION. golangci-lint v2.14.0 is a minor release with linter improvements; no compatibility concern. ✓ Reasonable.

All four concerns are either intentional or non-issues.
