Move the canonical golangci-lint to v2.15.0 and bring back canonicalheader

v2.15.0 (released 2026-10-16, built with go1.27.0 like v2.14.0) bundles canonicalheader with its upstream fix for non-deterministic results, the defect behind issue 105. Linted 20 times each on a scratch package with two planted findings beside a ResponseWriter.Header() call, v2.14.0 reported them on 8 runs and nothing on 12; v2.15.0 reported them on all 20. REPO_POLICIES.md names the new digest; .golangci.yml no longer disables canonicalheader and is otherwise unchanged, since it verifies against v2.15.0 as it was and default: all switches on no new linter.

 # Completed Steps

-  quoted strings are unchanged.

- 2026-11-03: The canonical golangci-lint is now v2.15.0, still built with

-  go1.27.0, so the `go` directive rule is unchanged (issue 142). Repositories
+  reported them on all 20.
  pick this up on their next re-vendor. Each item in the canonical
  `.golangci.yml` was tried on a scratch module. These changed:
    - `canonicalheader` is enabled again, because v2.15.0 fixes the random
      misses behind issue 105.
    - The `depguard` exemption covers only the files directly inside a directory
      whose name ends in `test`. It used to reach every directory below that one
      too. The name of the directory a repository is cloned into no longer
      counts.
    - `gomodguard_v2` also blocks `github.com/go-redis/redis/v9`, whose
      pre-releases can still be imported under that path.
    - `uniq-by-line` is now `false`, so a line that trips two linters reports
      both findings.
    - Three comments are corrected:
        - `exhaustruct` is listed as deprecated.
        - The test double is named `github.com/go-redis/redismock/v9`.
        - The claim that every blocked module is in the Go package defaults is
          gone.
    - A comment says the file has no `formatters` section, so
      `golangci-lint run` does not run `gofmt`.
 - 2026-11-03: A package from the distribution's own package index now needs no
  version and no hash, and pulling that index is allowed
  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/issues/72), on sneak's answer at
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/issues/72#issuecomment-165196. The
  distribution is the pinned base image's in a `Dockerfile` and the host's on a
  host. It is trusted, and everything else stays pinned by hash. A package
  source that a `Dockerfile` adds itself does not get the exception. The pinning
  rule of `REPO_POLICIES.md` and both checklists say so, and the canonical Go
  `Dockerfile`'s `apk add` line has a comment saying why it is allowed.
 - 2026-11-03: A first test run that timed out now gets no verbose rerun
  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/issues/61), on sneak's approval at
  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/issues/61#issuecomment-165195. The Go recipe
  in `REPO_POLICIES.md` looks in the first run's output for
  `panic: test timed out` or `*** Test killed`, and exits 1 when either is
  there. The Python `make test` example takes the same `timeout 90 sh -c`
  wrapper as its `Dockerfile` example. The 60 and 90 second rule and the
  5-minute rule now say a hung package uses the backstop once. The Go item in
  both repo checklists now asks for this, so a repository with the old recipe
  fails it.
 - 2026-10-27: Added `prompts/API_POLICIES.md`
  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/issues/137). It holds sneak's rule from
