Replace unmaintained gopkg.in/yaml.v2 and yaml.v3 with the official YAML organization's maintained fork at go.yaml.in/yaml/v4. Changes: - Update all imports from gopkg.in/yaml.v2/v3 to go.yaml.in/yaml/v4 - Fix type assertions in UnmarshalYAML: map[any]any -> map[string]any (yaml v4 returns map[string]any for mappings, not map[any]any) - Update test expectation for yaml.Marshal indentation (v4 uses 4-space indentation by default) - Simplify overwrite_yaml.go using Go 1.21+ builtins (max, range int) The go.yaml.in/yaml/v4 library is maintained by the official YAML organization after go-yaml was marked unmaintained in April 2025.
Apply automated modernizer fixes across the codebase: - Use modern Go idioms and builtins (e.g., slices package, range int) - Simplify error handling patterns - Clean up redundant code
Enable the 'modernize' linter in golangci-lint to automatically catch code that can be simplified using modern Go language and library features. This will flag opportunities to use: - Range over integers (Go 1.22+) - slices/maps package functions - Other modern Go idioms
