What
VERSIONbuild-arg is managed through https://github.com/elastic/golang-crossbuild/blob/main/go/Makefile.common#L5go versionassertion so we know if the container image has actually been produced with the correct version. See [Automation] Bump Golang version to 1.24.4 #623 (comment)VERSIONrather thanGOLANG_VERSION.Why
