## Description
Add exponential backoff retries to all `go install` and `go mod
download` commands across CI workflows and actions.
## Why
Fixes
[coder/internal#1276](https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1276) -
CI fails when `sum.golang.org` returns 500 errors during Go module
verification. This is an infrastructure-level flake that can't be
controlled.
## Changes
- Created `.github/scripts/retry.sh` - reusable retry helper with
exponential backoff (2s, 4s, 8s delays, max 3 attempts), using
`scripts/lib.sh` helpers
- Wrapped all `go install` and `go mod download` commands with retry in:
- `.github/actions/setup-go/action.yaml`
- `.github/actions/setup-sqlc/action.yaml`
- `.github/actions/setup-go-tools/action.yaml`
- `.github/workflows/ci.yaml`
- `.github/workflows/release.yaml`
- `.github/workflows/security.yaml`
- Added GNU tools setup (bash 4+, GNU getopt, make 4+) for macOS in
`test-go-pg` job, since `retry.sh` uses `lib.sh` which requires these
tools
Updates all Go version references in the codebase to use Go 1.24.4.
## Changes
- Update `go.mod` to use Go 1.24.4
- Update `dogfood/coder/Dockerfile` GO_VERSION to 1.24.4
- Update `.github/actions/setup-go/action.yaml` default version to
1.24.4
- Update `examples/parameters-dynamic-options/variables.yml` to use
golang:1.24
## Testing
- ✅ All Go version references are consistent (verified with
`scripts/check_go_versions.sh`)
- ✅ Build tested successfully with Go 1.24.4
- ✅ Binary runs correctly

This PR starts running test-go-pg on macOS and Windows in regular CI.
Previously this suite was only run in the nightly gauntlet for 2
reasons:
- it was flaky
- it was slow (took 17 minutes)
We've since stabilized the flakiness by switching to depot runners,
using ram disks, optimizing the number of tests run in parallel, and
automatically re-running failing tests. We've also [brought
down](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/17756) the time to run the
suite to 9 minutes. Additionally, this PR allows test-go-pg to use cache
from previous runs, which speeds it up further. The cache is only used
on PRs, `main` will still run tests without it.
This PR also:
- removes the nightly gauntlet since all tests now run in regular CI
- removes the `test-cli` job for the same reason
- removes the `setup-imdisk` action which is now fully replaced by
[coder/setup-ramdisk-action](https://github.com/coder/setup-ramdisk-action)
- makes 2 minor changes which could be separate PRs, but I rolled them
into this because they were helpful when iterating on it:
- replace the `if: always()` condition on the `gen` job with a `if: ${{
!cancelled() }}` to allow the job to be cancelled. Previously the job
would run to completion even if the entire workflow was cancelled. See
[the GitHub
docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/evaluate-expressions-in-workflows-and-actions#always)
for more details.
- disable the recently added `TestReinitializeAgent` since it does not
pass on Windows with Postgres. There's an open issue to fix it:
https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/642
This PR will:
- unblock https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/15109
- alleviate https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/647
I tested caching by temporarily enabling cache upload on this PR: here's
[a
run](https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/15119046903/job/42496939341?pr=17853#step:13:1296)
showing cache being used.
This PR focuses on optimizing go-test CI times on Windows. It:
- backs the `$RUNNER_TEMP` directory with a RAM disk. This directory is
used by actions like cache, setup-go, and setup-terraform as a staging
area
- backs `GOCACHE`, `GOMODCACHE`, and `GOPATH` with a RAM disk
- backs `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE` with a RAM disk - that's where the
repository is checked out
- uses preinstalled Go on Windows runners
- starts using the depot Windows runner
From what I've seen, these changes bring test times down to be on par
with Linux and macOS. The biggest improvement comes from backing
frequently accessed paths with RAM disks. The C drive is surprisingly
slow - I ran some performance tests with
[fio](https://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html#) where I tested
IOPS on many small files, and the RAM disk was 100x faster.
Additionally, the depot runners seem to have more consistent performance
than the ones provided by GitHub.
this updates `go` to the latest stable patch version `1.24.2` in:
- `go.mod`
- `dogfood/coder/Dockerfile`
- `.github/actions/setup-go/action.yaml`
- `flake.nix`

Use specific commit SHAs for GitHub actions across various workflows to
enhance reliability and reproducibility. This change ensures that
actions run against a known version, reducing the risk of unexpected
issues due to updates in the third-party action repositories.
