Code Review

This pull request updates the Go version to 1.26rc1 and refreshes dependencies. While this is a good maintenance step, there are a couple of critical issues. The go directive in all go.mod files needs to be updated to go 1.26 to complete the Go version upgrade. Also, there's an inconsistency in how the Go version string is formatted across different files. Finally, please be mindful of the risks of using a release candidate version if this is intended for a production release.

[gemini-code-assist]

The go directive on line 3 should be updated to go 1.26 to reflect the Go version upgrade. Currently, it's still go 1.24.6. This is a crucial step to enable new language features and ensure correct toolchain behavior. This change should be applied to all go.mod files in the project.
