golangci-lint · balanced balanced

- Use golangci-lint as the standard Go linter. Configure in `.golangci.yml` at the project root.

- Run `golangci-lint run ./...` locally and in CI. Fix all reported issues before committing.

- Configure `.golangci.yml` with specific linters — enable `errcheck`, `govet`, `staticcheck`, `unused`, and `gosimple` at minimum.

- Enable useful linters: `errcheck`, `staticcheck`, `gosimple`, `govet`, `ineffassign`, `unused`.

- Add stricter linters gradually: `gocritic`, `revive`, `exhaustive`, `nilerr`, `prealloc`.

- Use `--fix` flag for auto-fixable issues. Use `--new-from-rev=HEAD~1` for checking only changed code.

- Set `issues.max-issues-per-linter: 0` and `issues.max-same-issues: 0` for comprehensive reporting.
