Walkthrough

The project and tools Go module dependencies were updated. A new indirect compression and CEL dependency was added. Grype now ignores advisory GO-2026-5932 for golang.org/x/crypto.

Changes

Dependency and scan updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update Go dependency manifests .go.mod, tools/go.mod	Updated direct and indirect Go dependencies, including golang.org/x/*, protobuf, OpenTelemetry, genproto, gRPC, compression, and CEL modules.
Add Grype vulnerability ignore .grype.yaml	Added an ignore rule for GO-2026-5932 affecting golang.org/x/crypto with fix state unknown.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 916c2

The dependency updates are mergeable, but the OpenTelemetry modules use mixed release lines and should be aligned to reduce integration risk.
