Research direction
Start by locating the Go implementation and tests for the uname builtin, then reproduce the reduced command shape uname -a. Compare its output with the expected GNU/Linux result in this issue. Done means the command exits successfully and includes the GNU/Linux operating-system field without changing stderr.
