What did you do?

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var i int = 42
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", i)
}

https://go.dev/play/p/19ECZqyEHs_A

What did you see happen?

prog.go:7:14: fmt.Printf format %q has arg i of wrong type int

Go vet failed.

'*'

Program exited.

What did you expect to see?

The fmt docs state that the %q verb can be used to print integers:
%q a single-quoted character literal safely escaped with Go syntax.: https://pkg.go.dev/fmt#:~:text=Integer%3A

As of Go 1.26, this however no longer passes go vet:

$ go vet prog.go
prog.go:7:14: fmt.Printf format %q has arg i of wrong type int

The docs on fmt should reflect that.

That vet error was introduced as part of https://github.com/golang/go/issues/72850.
