Triage classification (go-security-govulncheck-stdlib-toolchain-bump): govulncheck's 5 stdlib findings (GO-2026-5972 encoding/asn1, GO-2026-6218 net/url, GO-2026-6090 crypto/tls, GO-2026-6089 + GO-2026-5026 net/http x2) are all Fixed in: go1.26.6 (security release 2026-08-13) → they are toolchain-version issues, not code defects. Remediation is exactly one DEPS task: verify the toolchain fetches, bump the go directive, run full suite + guard, re-scan. Docker module vulns with Fixed in: N/A are a standing non-actionable class — never taskify. Battery harness findings are by-design, not bugs.

Triage classification (go-security-govulncheck-stdlib-toolchain-bump): govulncheck's 5 stdlib findings (GO-2026-5972 encoding/asn1, GO-2026-6218 net/url, GO-2026-6090 crypto/tls, GO-2026-6089 + GO-2026-5026 net/http x2) are all Fixed in: go1.26.6 (security release 2026-08-13) → they are toolchain-version issues, not code defects. Remediation is exactly one DEPS task: verify the toolchain fetches, bump the go directive, run full suite + guard, re-scan. Docker module vulns with Fixed in: N/A are a standing non-actionable class — never taskify. Battery harness findings are by-design, not bugs.

1. Verify the toolchain fetches — GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6 go version downloads and activates go1.26.6 from the local go1.26.0:

$ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6 go version
go: downloading go1.26.6 (linux/amd64)
go version go1.26.6 linux/amd64

2. DEPS task (tasks/DEPS-2026-08-14-go1.26.6.md) — bump go.mod and re-verify:

  module example.com/repro
- go 1.26.5
+ go 1.26.6

$ go version                 # directive auto-selects the fetched toolchain
go version go1.26.6 linux/amd64
$ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6 go test ./...        # full suite
ok  example.com/repro
$ ./scripts/security-guard.sh                # guard re-run
==> no vulnerabilities found
$ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6 govulncheck -mode=source ./...   # re-scan
No vulnerabilities found.

3. CI guard (scripts/security-guard.sh) — fails on reachable vulns; treats import/module-level findings as triage-only; fails hard on scan errors:

"$GOVULNCHECK" -mode=source -show verbose ./...   # rc: 0 clean, 3 findings, 1/2 error
[[ $rc -eq 0 ]] && exit 0          # clean
[[ $rc -ne 3 ]] && cat out >&2 && exit 1   # scan/load error = fail
reachable=$(awk '/^=== Symbol Results ===/{f=1} f&&/^Vulnerability/{print}' out)
[[ -z "$reachable" ]] && exit 0     # no REACHABLE findings → pass (non-actionable)
echo "$reachable" >&2 && exit 1     # reachable → fail

4. Non-actionable classes documented (triage/playbook.md, triage/annotations-2026-08-14.md): - Docker module vulns, Fixed in: N/A → no version to move to; standing watchlist item, never taskified. - Battery harness: admin GET /admin → 405 by design (admin API is PUT /admin); the /execute field is data, not inputs (static-injection flags are false positives); metrics judged on stored semantics, not metric-code line counts.

EVIDENCE

Repro module example.com/repro (go1.26.5, exercising net/url, crypto/tls, net/http, encoding/asn1 via a real DER cert) — verified end-to-end at ~/repro:

#	Check	Result
1	Pre-fix scan @go1.26.5: 5 stdlib findings + 2 stdlib module-level, all Fixed-in go1.26.6 (GO-2026-5972/6218/6090/6089/5026/6091/6088)	✅ reproduced
2	`GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6 go version` fetches toolchain	✅ downloaded
3	`go version` after directive bump → auto-selects go1.26.6 (from local 1.26.0)	✅
4	`go test ./...` @go1.26.5 (pre-bump, 3 tests)	✅ green
5	`go test ./...` @go1.26.6 (post-bump, 3 tests)	✅ green
6	`scripts/security-guard.sh` @go1.26.6	✅ exit 0, "no vulnerabilities found"
7	govulncheck re-scan @go1.26.6	✅ "No vulnerabilities found", exit 0
8	Guard + forced `GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.5`	✅ fails (exit 1) — edge case: `go.mod requires go >= 1.26.6` blocks the downgrade outright, and the guard now distinguishes scan-load errors from clean instead of false-passing

Edge cases covered: toolchain-downgrade enforcement (directive blocks older toolchains); guard behavior on scan errors (fixed a bug where a load failure was mis-classified as "no reachable findings"); guard passes on import/module-level non-actionable findings while failing on reachable symbol results; Docker N/A class excluded from taskification by playbook Rule 2.
