Smoke test workflows were incorrectly instructing agents to use bash commands (go version) to test Serena integration instead of using Serena MCP server tools.

Changes

Before/After

Before:

Use the serena-go tool to run a basic go command like "go version" to verify the tool is available

After:

Use the Serena MCP server tool `activate_project` to initialize the workspace and verify it succeeds (do NOT use bash to run go commands - use Serena's MCP tools)

This ensures smoke tests validate the MCP server integration correctly rather than testing Go toolchain availability via bash.
