Walkthrough

The docs file docs/tools/golangci-lint.md was expanded and reorganized to document supported golangci-lint v1.x, configuration discovery and custom config settings, and a v1-v2 coexistence workaround; links were updated. No code logic changes.

Poem

I nibble docs and tidy each line,
A rabbit of lint, with guidance divine.
V1 on the shelf, while v2 takes a nap,
Two configs can dance — a tidy overlap.
Hoppity-hop, clean code on the map! 🐇✨
