Invalid Go toolchain version

[stevehipwell]

AFAIK since Go 1.24 using the format go 1.N (e.g. go 1.24) in go.mod is a valid alias for the latest version but when this pattern is used without the toolchain directive being explicitly set in the go.mod we're getting the "Invalid Go toolchain version" error.

You are right, that is even valid from 1.23 onward (see this comment). We have a draft PR addressing that, but we haven't picked it up in some time. We're discussing picking it up again 👍

Thanks for the reply @redsun82, I think it'd be good if this was fixed as it's currently misleading. I don't think this is the case but could you also confirm if this could be related to #2515?

@stevehipwell after an internal discussion we decided to drop this alert entirely, which was done in github/codeql#19370. This will be released in version 2.21.2 which should get released at the end of next week.
