Filed by the dispatcher on behalf of the per-repo managers; this belongs upstream because the canonical config is untouchable by policy in the consuming repos, so the fix has to land here and propagate.

Problem

Under golangci-lint v2.12.0 and later, every lint run against the canonical .golangci.yml (sha256 021cc83f4e6fc7c31b95b34b846723dfcf20b66b7baeea1dc40406e643346bcb) prints:

gomodguard is deprecated (since v2.12.0), replaced by gomodguard_v2

The config uses default: all, so the deprecated linter is auto-enabled. It does not affect exit status, but it appears on every run in every Go repo that has migrated to v2.12.2 — currently dnswatcher, webhooker, vaultik, rgoue, cattbox, sfdupes, attrsum, upaas, simplelog, mfer, secret, bsfirehose, and pixa once PR #54 lands.

Per the global rule on deprecation warnings, this is an action item to remediate after work in flight, not noise to ignore.

Options

  1. Disable gomodguard explicitly, the same way wsl is already disabled. gomodguard_v2 stays enabled via default: all, so behavior is unchanged — no gomodguard settings are configured anywhere. This was the approach dnswatcher PR #96 took before the owner directed it back to the org-standard bytes, and it was verified to silence the warning with make lint reporting 0 issues.
  2. Accept the warning until the next canonical refresh.

Recommend option 1.

Definition of done

  • Canonical .golangci.yml no longer emits the deprecation warning under v2.12.2.
  • The new sha256 is recorded here and in REPO_POLICIES.md so consuming repos can verify by hash.
  • A follow-up issue exists (or is filed) to roll the new bytes into every consuming repo, since they verify by sha256 and will now mismatch.

Related: schema validity

While migrating netwatch, its manager found that repo's pre-migration .golangci.yml (sha256 33ba2bf7...) declared version: "2" while using v1 layout. golangci-lint silently fell back to defaults, so every configured threshold was ignored and the 0 issues. that repo reported was meaningless. Any repo still carrying that file has the same defect. golangci-lint config verify detects it.

CAUTION for whoever acts on that: golangci-lint config verify resolves its JSON schema over an unpinned live HTTPS fetch with a 2s timeout. It must NOT be wired into make lint or any CI gate — that would violate hash-pinning and make CI network-dependent. Use it as a one-off local check, or use an offline sha256 drift guard instead.

Implementation brief. Option 1 adopted, as recommended.

Change

Add to the existing linters.disable block, in the same style as the wsl entry directly above it:

    - gomodguard       # Deprecated, replaced by gomodguard_v2

gomodguard_v2 stays enabled via default: all, and no gomodguard settings are configured anywhere, so behaviour is unchanged.

Confirmed present: main already carries the v2-layout config at sha256 021cc83f4e6fc7c31b95b34b846723dfcf20b66b7baeea1dc40406e643346bcb, matching the hash in this issue, so this applies cleanly.

Definition of done

  • Run golangci-lint v2.12.2 against the amended config on a real Go tree and confirm zero deprecation warnings — not merely that the gomodguard one is gone. wsl was disabled for the same reason previously and three managers rediscovered gomodguard independently, which suggests nobody has swept the full set. If other deprecated linters are auto-enabled by default: all under v2.12.2, disable them in the same commit and list them.
  • Record the new sha256 in this issue and in the PR body.
  • Per the issue DoD, record it in REPO_POLICIES.md too — and add an explicit note there that the recorded hash must be updated in the same commit as any .golangci.yml change, since a stale published hash is itself a false-verification mechanism of the same family as everything else in this batch.
  • TODO.md entry dated 2026-08-09.

Republishing changes the hash — enumerate the fallout in the PR body

Several open issues across the fleet assert 021cc83f... as the expected sha256, and every consuming repo verifies by hash. The PR body must state the old hash, the new hash, and that consuming repos must re-fetch. Search the tracker for the old hash and list the issues that will need updating; naming them is part of this unit, not a follow-up.

Explicitly out of scope

The golangci-lint config verify schema-validity item in this issue's "Related" section stays out. It resolves its JSON schema over an unpinned live HTTPS fetch with a 2-second timeout, so wiring it into make lint or any gate would violate the hash-pinning rule and make CI network-dependent. If a drift guard is wanted, it should be an offline sha256 comparison — file it separately rather than folding it in here.

BLOCKED ON OWNER AUTHORIZATION — not on analysis. Assigned to sneak. One line, ten seconds, but an agent may not be the one to type it.

REPO_POLICIES.md line 261 states, in this repo, of this exact file:

> .golangci.yml is standardized and must NEVER be modified by an agent, only manually by the user.

That is unqualified and this is the canonical copy, where the rule binds hardest. The framing in the issue body — "untouchable by policy in the consuming repos, so the fix has to land here" — assumed the restriction applied only downstream. It does not say that. So I am not committing this, and I am not opening a speculative branch either: the standing permission to build ahead of your ruling covers changes you can close and delete, not a rule that names the file and forbids the actor.

The exact change, ready to apply

In the linters.disable block, matching the existing wsl entry directly above:

    - gomodguard       # Deprecated, replaced by gomodguard_v2

gomodguard_v2 remains enabled via default: all, and no gomodguard settings are configured anywhere, so linting behaviour is unchanged. Independently corroborated during #30's implementation, which saw the warning on every run against the current canonical config.

Three ways to unblock, pick one

  1. Apply it yourself. One line. Then say so here and I will handle the sha256 recording and the propagation issue.
  2. Authorize me for this change specifically. Reply "go ahead on #25" and I will land it as the sixth commit on #34 with the same review loop as the other five.
  3. Amend the policy if the intent was always "agents may not modify it in consuming repos, but the canonical copy is maintained here" — which is what the issue's original framing assumed. That is the broader fix and would unblock this class of work permanently.

What else is waiting on it

  • The new sha256 must be recorded in this issue and in REPO_POLICIES.md. Several open issues across the fleet assert the current 021cc83f4e6fc7c31b95b34b846723dfcf20b66b7baeea1dc40406e643346bcb, and every consuming repo verifies by hash, so they all mismatch the moment this lands.
  • A propagation issue for the Go repos, separate from #35 — that one covers the Docker build-context trio and this has a different scope and blast radius.
  • Whoever implements it should also confirm zero deprecation warnings under v2.12.2, not merely that this one is gone. wsl was disabled for the same reason previously and nobody has swept the full set; three managers rediscovered gomodguard independently, which suggests the sweep has never been done.

Everything else in this cycle is complete or in review. This is the only unit that cannot proceed without you.

Speculative PR up: #47. Branch only, not merged — close it and the branch goes away.

Three corrections to what this issue and its briefs assumed:

  1. The v2 settings schema is genuinely different, not a rename — allowed/blocked become flat lists of {module, version, match-type, ...}, blocked.versions folds into blocked, and local-replace-directives moves to the top level of the settings block. Irrelevant here only because the canonical config configures no gomodguard settings at all. Full table in the PR.

  2. The deprecation sweep is now complete. DeprecatedWarning appears on exactly two linters in v2.12.2: gomodguard and wsl. wsl is already disabled, so this change takes the canonical config to zero deprecated linters enabled. No others were hiding.

  3. REPO_POLICIES.md does not publish the config sha256 anywhere. The DoD item asking for it to be recorded there has nothing to update. The hash assertions live in issues and consuming repos instead.

New sha256: 9dc33938311bd7319b21585cba45052f6edb1ab4305dafcd3816abd7ffd18a5b (old: 021cc83f4e6fc7c31b95b34b846723dfcf20b66b7baeea1dc40406e643346bcb).

The PR carries a negative control proving the migrated config actually applies — a deliberately blocked module producing gomodguard_v2 findings and a non-zero exit — plus a demonstration that mistyping the settings key by one character yields a silent 0 issues. green. A passing lint alone would not have been evidence.

Note the standing policy question is unresolved: REPO_POLICIES.md line 261 forbids agents from modifying .golangci.yml, unqualified. This PR was explicitly requested, so it exists for you to rule on, but options 2 and 3 from my earlier comment (apply it yourself, or amend the policy to scope it to consuming repos) are still the durable fixes.
