Language edition/toolchain drift
Go 1.24 tool directive go.mod tools command resolves executable name collision distribution tool
The command resolves a different executable after adopting module tool directives.
Agent Quick Fix
Source may compile under an older edition/toolchain; current edition migration rules and tool metadata are external to the repo's immediate error context.
Product: Go 1.24
Current-contract area: `go tool` name collides with a tool shipped by the distribution
Likely root cause: The command resolves a different executable after adopting module tool directives.
Repair direction: Verifier checks idiomatic migration while preserving cross-version intent where required.Validation Status

Symptom
The command resolves a different executable after adopting module tool directives.
Why This Happens
Source may compile under an older edition/toolchain; current edition migration rules and tool metadata are external to the repo's immediate error context.
Verification
Verifier checks idiomatic migration while preserving cross-version intent where required.Common Wrong Fixes
- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
