Subject: [PATCH] ci: add golangci-lint static analysis configuration
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Configure minimum linter set: errcheck, staticcheck, govet, ineffassign, unused
- Disable noisy style linters: gocyclo, funlen, wsl
- Add per-path exclusions for appropriate error handling patterns
- Configure errcheck exclusions for standard library and common patterns
- Configure staticcheck to enable only S/SA series (correctness)
- All tests pass with 0 lint issues

Per plan §Quality Gates / Definition of Done (item 3)

+#
+# Quality gate for CI (per plan §Quality Gates / Definition of Done, item 3)
+#
+# Enabled linters (minimum set):
+# - errcheck: all errors must be handled or explicitly discarded with _
+# - staticcheck: includes S-series (simplifications) and SA-series (bugs)
+# - govet: same as go vet but integrated
+# - ineffassign: catch dead assignments
+# - unused: catch unused exported identifiers
+#
+# Disabled (too noisy for this codebase):
+# - gocyclo, funlen, wsl (style preferences, not correctness)
