Research direction

Review the README.md "Development setup" requirements and the ./scripts/dev command context, then confirm the missing Go or golang-go dependency. Update the requirements so the documented setup includes it, and verify that the instructions address the reported go mod tidy failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When running the ./scripts/dev as in the "Development setup" in the README.md, I get this:

 => ERROR [bbb-webrtc-recorder builder 4/7] RUN go mod tidy
> [bbb-webrtc-recorder builder 4/7] RUN go mod tidy:
2.452 go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

It seems we need to install go / golang-go, and possibly some additional stuff, to make this script work.
This should be mentioned in the requirements.
