golangci-unparam-unused-param

📦 Source in repository (JSON)

Answer 1

Done. All artifacts are in place and verified.

Deliverables

/workspace/solution.md — self-contained writeup with title, root-cause analysis, the exact 2-line fix, and verification. Highlights:

/workspace/repro/ — a faithful <project> module reproduction (src/runner/runner.go) used to prove the diagnosis end-to-end.

Verification (all green)

Reconstructed the exact diagnostic class on the buggy code:

src/runner/runner.go:107:65: `(*Runner).executeForEach` - `env` is unused (unparam)

then proved the one-param-at-a-time behavior with three lint passes:

Pass State Result
1 buggy env is unused (unparam) — exit 1
2 removed env only specPolicy is unused (unparam) — exit 1
3 removed both 0 issues — exit 0

Final gate battery on the fixed fixture: go build OK · go vet OK · go test -race OK (1.011s) · golangci-lint run ./... exit 0 · gofmt clean.

Lesson encoded in the writeup: guard lint is scoped and can miss unparam regressions on worker commits; the full-module gate battery is the source of truth; and unparam requires a lint re-run after each parameter removal.
