Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(lint): resolve 51 golangci-lint v2 violations + add
 .golangci.yml (BMO thread:19f330bb90ddebe6)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Make the codebase clean under golangci-lint v2.12.2 (0 issues). CI still
pins v1.62 during the v2 migration window — that pin is intentionally
unchanged.

Changes per linter category:

errcheck (unchecked errors): wrap ignored returns explicitly.
  - deferred Close()/Shutdown() -> `defer func() { _ = X.Close() }()`
    across cmd/engram, otel exporters/tests, embedding openai/voyage,
    dream/gate, server eval/http/legacy/collections tests, sync.
  - fire-and-forget calls (json.Encode/Unmarshal, os.Remove, callTool,
    Flush) -> `_ = ...`.

staticcheck:
  - QF1012: `sb.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf(...))` -> `fmt.Fprintf(&sb, ...)`
    in reflection engine/pipeline/prompt/dialectic and dream/engine.
  - SA1012: pass context.TODO() instead of nil Context in
    reflection engine_batch2_test.
  - S1024: `parsed.Sub(time.Now())` -> `time.Until(parsed)`.

unused:
  - remove dead `dailyCountEntry` struct in reflection/trigger
    (readDailyCount uses fmt.Sscanf, not this struct).
  - handleReflectionRunEvent: kept with a targeted `//nolint:unused`
    (staged in commit 8dd5200 ahead of tool registration; not dead —
    RunSingleEvent is covered by engine tests). Flagged for reviewer.

Add .golangci.yml (v2 schema) enabling errcheck, govet, staticcheck,
unused. No linter blanket-disabled.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fix(ci): run golangci-lint v2.12.2 via action@v8 (unblock
 lint job)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The lint job failed with 'the Go language version (go1.23) used to build
golangci-lint is lower than the targeted Go version (1.25.0)': CI pinned
golangci-lint v1.62 (built with go1.23) against a v2-schema .golangci.yml
and go.mod go1.25 — a three-way incompatibility. The 51 code violations
were already fixed; only the toolchain pin remained.

Switch golangci-lint-action@v6 -> @v8 and version v1.62 -> v2.12.2 so the
action matches the v2 config and go1.25. Verified locally: go vet clean,
golangci-lint config verify OK, golangci-lint run ./... = 0 issues.
