Automated Go toolchain + dependency update.

• go directive: 1.27.1 -> 1.27.2
• gate green: precommit, check, vulncheck (exit 0)
• notes: Bumped go directive from 1.27.1 to 1.27.2; go mod tidy resolved the dependency graph; all gate targets (precommit/check/vulncheck) passed clean.

CHANGELOG entry stays under ## Unreleased — the release agent versions and tags on merge.

[ben-s-pull-request-reviewer]

Both exclude forms (single-line exclude pkg version and multi-line exclude ( pkg version )) are valid Go module syntax. The change is functionally equivalent.

CI will verify the dependency graph resolves correctly and the build passes. Since no Go source files changed, no architectural or business-logic review applies.

Must Fix (Critical): None.

Should Fix (Important): None.

Nice to Have (Optional): None.
