fix(dependency-audit): bump govulncheck to v1.9.0 so it runs on Go 1.27 - #1471
dependency-audit-reusable.yml pins govulncheck@v1.1.4 and installs Go stable, which is now 1.27.3. setup-go sets GOTOOLCHAIN=local. On that toolchain, v1.1.4's vendored golang.org/x/tools@v0.29.0 SSA builder panics:
panic: unexpected expr: *ast.KeyValueExpr
That failed govulncheck on combsmith/broodly ./apps/api (main run 41763096687), and through it the new Audit gate (#1406 / #1470). It will do the same to any caller with a go.mod. The broodly session reproduced the panic locally. On the same toolchain, govulncheck v1.9.0 reports "No vulnerabilities found" (details in combsmith/broodly#636).
This PR:
Bumps the pin to govulncheck@v1.9.0, the latest release (2026-10-11), which requires x/tools v0.52.0 and go 1.26. The header's pinned-versions line is updated to match.
Adds a test in test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats: the pin must be v1.9.0 or later and must match the header. The existing dependency-hardening.bats guard still enforces @vX.Y.Z pinning.
Why Go stays on stable
I considered pinning Go and kept stable:
GOTOOLCHAIN=local makes a fixed pin brittle. The toolchain must be at least every audited module's go line. A pinned 1.27.x would fail the job for every caller the day one of them bumps go.mod to 1.28. Nothing would bump the pin automatically, since Dependabot does not update go-version strings.
The root cause is a stale tool, not a new Go. v1.1.4 was eight minor releases behind. A current govulncheck tracks Go's syntax.
Accepted cost: a future Go release can still outrun a stale govulncheck. The header now records this trade-off, and the fix when it happens is the same one-line bump.
Rollout: which channel tags to promote
Most fleet repos (including broodly) pin dependency-audit/v2-stable, currently 9bd9ea7. The fix reaches each repo only when its channel is moved to a release that contains this commit:
For broodly, dependency-audit/v2-stable must be promoted. Per the ring order, that means v2-next → v2-ring0 → v2-ring1 → v2-stable. dependency-audit is in canary-rollout.yml's health-gated promotion list, so the tags can advance on their own once a release is cut. A maintainer can also move them through the normal release process. This repo picks the fix up on merge (local ref).
Testing
bats test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats test/workflows/dependency-hardening.bats: 34/34 pass locally, including the new pin test.
Not exercised in this PR's CI: this repo has no go.mod, so govulncheck is skipped here. Checked by hand against combsmith/broodly at e1aa5da apps/api, with GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.27.3 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 to match the CI runner. v1.1.4 panics with unexpected expr: *ast.KeyValueExpr, the same failure as CI. v1.9.0 reports No vulnerabilities found. and exits 0. The panic needs the linux/amd64 package load; with darwin/arm64 build settings, v1.1.4 completes.
govulncheck v1.1.4 vendors golang.org/x/tools v0.29.0, whose SSA builder
panics (`unexpected expr: *ast.KeyValueExpr`) on Go 1.27, which setup-go's
`stable` now installs. The Go audit then fails for every caller with a
go.mod, e.g. combsmith/broodly ./apps/api. v1.9.0 (x/tools v0.52.0) runs clean
on the same toolchain.
Keep Go on `stable`: setup-go sets GOTOOLCHAIN=local, so a fixed Go pin would
break the job when a caller's go.mod moves past it. Document that choice in
the header and add a test that keeps the pin at v1.9.0 or later and in step
with the header.

Updated the vulnerability audit workflow to use a newer version of its scanning tool and clarified Go toolchain compatibility notes.
Tests
Added checks to ensure the workflow’s documented and installed tool versions match.
The reusable dependency audit workflow updates its govulncheck pin to v1.9.0 and documents the Go toolchain choice. A workflow test checks that the install pin matches the documented pin and is v1.9.0 or later.
Changes: govulncheck version update
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Update and verify the govulncheck pin .github/workflows/dependency-audit-reusable.yml, test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats
The workflow documents and installs govulncheck v1.9.0. The test checks that the install pin matches the documented pin and is v1.9.0 or later.
The workflow is currently pinned, but its regression guard can accept an invalid future pin; tighten the check before relying on it.

Risk: MEDIUM Reviewed commit:a58e2172c8d087137109ecf118f09b15a8b0f21f Cascade: triage → deep+duck (triage: haiku 4.5 [sonnet 5.5, sonnet 5] → deep: opus 5.5 [opus 4.8, sonnet 5.5] + duck: sonnet 5.5 → audit: opus 5.5 [opus 4.8, opus 4.7])
Summary
Both reviewers rate the risk MEDIUM and escalate, so they fully agree. The change bumps govulncheck to v1.9.0 and adds a bats pin test. Neither found a code defect. Both converged on the one blocker: CodeRabbit's CHANGES_REQUESTED review on 540ed2f is still in force, and neither could confirm the thread is resolved, although commit a58e217 appears to address it. The rubber duck alone noted the dev-lead:hands-off label. Both noted that govulncheck v1.9.0 on Go 1.27 was never exercised in this repo's CI, because the govulncheck job was skipped here.

Downstream impact
This change is consumed by 7 downstream repo(s) that pin the affected reusable workflow / lib / prompt. Impacted consumers:
minor: reviewDecision is still CHANGES_REQUESTED and the merge state is BLOCKED, both from CodeRabbit's review on the earlier commit 540ed2f. That review asked for the pin check to match only a real go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@vX.Y.Z command, and to reject unpinned commands, pre-release versions and versions found only in comments. Commit a58e217 does this. Thread resolution state could not be read, so a maintainer should resolve the thread or dismiss the stale review. (test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats:49)
minor: reviewDecision is CHANGES_REQUESTED and mergeStateStatus is BLOCKED. CodeRabbit's inline request matches what commit a58e217 does, and CodeRabbit has since posted a COMMENTED review on a58e217. It could not be verified that the thread is resolved or the review dismissed, so a human needs to clear it. The PR also carries the dev-lead:hands-off label.
info: The new test's logic holds on a trace: the yq lookup resolves, the header awk yields v1.9.0, sort -V | head -1 enforces the floor, and bats errexit makes the mid-test checks fail the test. Bats could not be run here. The evidence is the passing CI job and the author's 34/34 local report. (test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats:44)
info: A hand trace shows the sed strips the trailing NOSONAR comment, the anchored regex extracts v1.9.0, and awk $3 is the version token in the header. sort -V | head -1 enforces v1.9.0 or later. It was not run. CI shows the Dependency Audit Tests and Dependency Hardening Tests jobs as SUCCESS. (test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats:44)
info: The sed -E 's/[[:space:]]+#.*$//' comment strip is probably redundant but harmless. It is a reasonable guard if a future step uses a block scalar or a different parser. (test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats:49)
info: If a second # govulncheck vX.Y.Z header line were added, header would hold two values and the equality check would fail loudly rather than pass silently. That is acceptable. (test/workflows/dependency-audit/dependency-audit.bats:51)
info: Runtime behavior of govulncheck v1.9.0 could not be verified: exit codes, output format and the Go 1.26+ requirement. The govulncheck job was skipped in this PR's CI because the repo has no go.mod. The only evidence is the broodly reproduction (fix(deps): clear pnpm audit on main (unfixable deepmerge advisory) broodly#636), which could not be read. Confirm on one Go caller in the v2-next or ring0 channel before promoting to v2-stable. (.github/workflows/dependency-audit-reusable.yml:157)
info: The govulncheck job is SKIPPED in this repo's CI, so the claim that v1.9.0 works on Go 1.27 rests on the author's broodly reproduction. The risk is low. Consumers only get the fix after the v2-next, ring0, ring1 and stable channel tags are promoted. (.github/workflows/dependency-audit-reusable.yml:157)
info: Keeping setup-go on stable with GOTOOLCHAIN=local is a deliberate trade-off, and the header now records it. A future Go release can again outrun the pinned govulncheck. Nothing updates the pin automatically, so the bats floor protects against a rollback, not against staleness. (.github/workflows/dependency-audit-reusable.yml:16)

Runtime check for the review's open info item: govulncheck on Go 1.27.3 had never run in this PR's CI, because this repo has no go.mod. I ran it directly against combsmith/broodly at e1aa5da (the commit of the failing run 41763096687), apps/api, with GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.27.3 and GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 to match the CI runner:
govulncheck
Result
v1.1.4 (current pin)
panic: unexpected expr: *ast.KeyValueExpr, the same failure as CI
v1.9.0 (this PR)
No vulnerabilities found., exit 0
The panic only appears when packages load for linux/amd64. With darwin/arm64 build settings, v1.1.4 completes, which is why it can look fine on a Mac.
The other open item is CodeRabbit's CHANGES_REQUESTED review on 540ed2f. Its thread is resolved, and CodeRabbit confirmed in the thread that a58e217 fixes the finding. Clearing that stale review is left to a maintainer.
