Research direction
Locate the Bazel WORKSPACE or BUILD file that specifies the version of rules go. Update the version to v0.56.0 as referenced in the issue (https://github.com/bazel contrib/rules go/releases/tag/v0.56.0). Verify that the build passes with Go 1.25. The fix is straightforward and isolated to a version string change.
