- Update Go version requirement from 1.25.5 to 1.25.6 in all docs (security fix)
- Add golangci-lint tooling information to CONTRIBUTING.md
- Document code quality improvements in STATUS.md including:
- Security vulnerability resolution (GO-2026-4340)
- Cyclomatic complexity reduction for 5 functions
- Comprehensive error handling improvements
- Complete style and formatting compliance
- Add code quality metrics section showing production readiness
- Update development workflow to include modern linting tools
Ensures documentation accurately reflects current security and quality status.
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md to require Go 1.25.5 or later
- Update README.md prerequisites
- Update GETTING-STARTED.md requirements
- Update Dockerfile examples to use golang:1.25-alpine
- Update issue templates to reflect supported Go versions
- Ensure consistency across all documentation files
All CI workflows already use go-version-file: go.mod so they
automatically pick up the correct version from go.mod.
- Reference original API documentation source from Bose Corporation
- Link to official Bose SoundTouch End-of-Life page
