## Recent Fixes

### Go Runtime Re-added (2026-02-05)
Re-added Go runtime to the container to support Go code analysis:
- **Problem**: The Dockerfile only installed `gopls` (Go LSP) but not the Go runtime itself
- **Solution**: Added `golang-go` package back to apt-get install with proper cleanup
- **Impact**: Container now includes both Go runtime and gopls for complete Go support
- **Testing**: The `go version` command now works, and Go code can be compiled/executed
- **Image Size**: Cleanup steps ensure minimal impact on image size

### PATH Configuration Fix (2026-01-18)
Fixed an issue where the `go` command was not found in the container's PATH during runtime:
- **Problem**: Line 40 of the Dockerfile explicitly set `/usr/bin` in the PATH, which was redundant and potentially caused PATH resolution issues
