Research direction

Inspect the repository's GitHub Actions workflow implementations and find the action/setup-go configuration that supplies a Go version directly. Check the setup-go documentation linked in the issue, then update the workflow to read the version from go.mod and verify the workflow configuration remains valid.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

currently, the pipeline uses the go version as input. since v3, you can tell the setup to use the go version from go.mod. this seems like a logical change, so we don't have to keep the pipeline and go.mod in-sync.
