Subject: [PATCH] debug: add comprehensive directory listings to diagnose build
 conflicts

Add ls -la output for:
- Working directory before/after build
- Go build cache location and contents
- Go module cache contents
- Post-build state verification

Simple directory listings often reveal file permission issues,
cached artifacts, or leftover files that cause 'File exists' errors
better than complex debugging output.
