Modernize go packages

[hamiltop]

Authored by openhands + claude sonnet 3.7 (via bedrock)

Initial instructions:

This is a set of go packages that are used in a bunch of microservices. Please modernize all these packages.

Total cost: $32.2275

Interventions:

It kept trying to use golang 1.21.3 instead of the latest golang

The latest stable version of go is 1.24.0 Let's switch to that version and continue

It kept checking files in a loop

Let's keep track of files we need to check in a file called modernize.md and then mark them as complete once we've checked them so we don't keep rechecking them.

It checked modernize.md but wasn't updating it

Let's record which files we've already checked

More loops

Please remember to update modernize.md

More loops

Let's focus on actually making changes. We keep checking files but after we check a file we should either update that file or we should update modernize.md to reflect that we don't need to make any changes to that file.

Wrap up

Let's commit this to git. Let's do all the vendor updates in an initial single commit and then all the rest of the changes in semantically helpful individual commits.

That took a lot of work. 503 steps. It cost over $30. A lot of that seemed to be spinning in circles and I had to interrupt and get you back on track.

Please write up a set of instructions for modernizing a go repo like this one using openhands that we can reference the next time we need to modernize a go repo. Include instructions for installing go, using a file to track work in progress, the types of updates made, etc.

Save those instructions into a file called openhands.instructions.md.

Commit the rest of our files and let's push to github
