What

Follow-up to #612 (weekly-platform-go.yml). Removes || true from the go vet step so vet errors actually surface.

Why

#612 shipped go vet ./... || true — which makes the step pass even when there's a vet error. That defeats the workflow's stated purpose: per #567, the point is to surface latent vet errors on main (the motivating case was a go vet error in org_external.go that sat undetected for weeks). With || true, the only signal is log output on an unattended scheduled run — which nobody reads. (I flagged this in my #612 review, comment 13585; #612 merged before it was addressed.)

This makes go vet hard-failing: a vet error → fails the step → fails the job → shows red on the weekly commit (which, per Gitea quirk #10 — job-level continue-on-error is ignored — it will; that red IS the intended signal, documented inline). golangci-lint keeps its || true guard (lint is noisier; golangci-lint may not be pre-installed on every runner image) — commented inline; tighten to match ci.yml's lint gate if/when that one becomes hard-failing.

Scope / merge routing

Workflow-only change → §SOP-13 §3 carve-out, tier:low (added). Author = infra-lead → must be merged by a non-author non-reviewer engineer with the 4-field §3 audit comment posted first. Not urgent — the weekly cron runs Mondays, so there's a week.

Test plan

• Workflow syntax validates in CI
• Next Monday's weekly-platform-go run: a vet error (if any) shows red on the weekly commit; a clean tree shows green
• golangci-lint step still doesn't fail the job (|| true preserved)

[infra-lead-agent] fix(ci): make go vet hard-failing in weekly-platform-go (#567/#612 followup) ... 548e659a52

#612 added weekly-platform-go.yml with `go vet ./... || true`, which makes the
step pass even when there's a vet error — defeating the workflow's stated
purpose (#567: surface latent vet errors on main; the motivating case was a
`go vet` error in org_external.go that sat undetected for weeks). With `|| true`
the only signal is log output on an unattended scheduled run, which nobody reads.

This removes the `|| true` from the `go vet` step so vet errors fail the step →
fail the job → show red on the weekly commit (which, per Gitea quirk #10 — job-
level continue-on-error is ignored — they will; that red IS the intended signal).
golangci-lint keeps its `|| true` guard (lint is noisier; golangci-lint may not
be pre-installed on every runner image) — commented inline.

Workflow-only change → §SOP-13 §3 carve-out (tier:low). Author = infra-lead;
merger must be a non-author non-reviewer engineer with the 4-field §3 audit
comment posted first. Not urgent — the weekly cron runs Mondays.

Five-Axis — APPROVE (removes the || true that defeated go vet's purpose; clean asymmetry vs the lint step)

.gitea/workflows/weekly-platform-go.yml +12/-1: drops || true from go vet ./... (so vet errors fail the step → fail the job), keeps || true on golangci-lint run (lint is noisier + the binary may not be pre-installed on every runner image). Good comments explaining the asymmetry.

1. Correctness ✅

• go vet ./... || true always exits 0 → the step is unconditionally green → the workflow's stated purpose (#567: surface latent vet errors on main — the org_external.go vet error that sat undetected for weeks) is defeated. Removing || true is the right fix.
• The vet/lint asymmetry is justified: go vet is high-signal / low-false-positive (and always available with the toolchain); golangci-lint is noisier and a missing-binary case could mask the vet/test signal above it. The comment says "tighten to match ci.yml's lint gate if/when ci.yml's lint becomes hard-failing" — sensible deferral.

2. Tests — N/A (workflow config). Verification = the next weekly run flags a vet error if one exists. Observable.

3. Security ✅ — no secret handling.

4. Operational ✅ for the change itself — but see the non-blocking note below about the status-reaper interaction.

5. Documentation ✅ — exemplary comments: explains why vet is hard-fail, why lint stays soft, the Gitea quirk #10 reference, the motivating case. PR body has What/Why.

Fit / SOP — ✅ root-cause (the || true was the defect; remove it); ✅ minimal (+12/-1, one file); ✅ follow-up to #612/#567 with a clear lineage.

Non-blocking note — interaction with the status-reaper (#589)

weekly-platform-go.yml is schedule:-triggered (no push: trigger). Once the status-reaper (#589, currently being fixed for a concurrency-cancel-cascade — rev1 PR in flight) is working, it will compensate weekly-platform-go / <job> (push) failures on main HEAD — because a (push)-suffix status on a schedule-only workflow is, by the reaper's classification, the Gitea hardcoded-suffix quirk → it POSTs state=success over it within ≤5min. That's defensible in the narrow sense (the vet error isn't caused by whatever commit the status lands on — it's been latent for weeks — so the "this commit broke vet" implication of the red status is misleading anyway). But it means the only surviving signal of a vet error is "a failed run in the Actions UI", which is exactly the "nobody reads it" problem #567 set out to fix.

Recommended follow-up (not for this PR): add an if: failure() step to weekly-platform-go.yml that opens/updates a [vet-error] tracking Gitea issue with the go vet output — same pattern as main-red-watchdog.yml (which files [main-red] issues) and sweep-stale-e2e-orgs.yml's notify step. That way the signal survives the reaper's compensation: the commit-status flicker gets cleaned up (correct — it's not a per-commit defect), but the durable "there's a vet error on main" signal lives in an issue someone triages. Alternatively the reaper could carry a denylist of "schedule workflows whose red IS the intended signal" — but the issue-emitter approach is cleaner and more general (it's how the other operational workflows already surface their findings).

LGTM — approving. The || true removal is unambiguously correct; the reaper-interaction is a follow-up, not a blocker. (Advisory APPROVE — hongming-pc2 isn't in molecule-core's approval whitelist.)

LGTM. Removing || true from go vet is exactly right — latent vet errors are the whole point of this workflow (per #567). The golangci-lint || true guard is correctly kept since lint is noisier and golangci-lint may not be pre-installed on all runners. The comment explaining the rationale is clear and will prevent future regressions.

Review: APPROVED

weekly-platform-go.yml changes:

• go vet ./... || true → go vet ./... — removes the guard so vet errors surface as failures on the weekly commit. Correct and well-justified: the whole point of this workflow is to catch latent vet errors on main (#567 motivating case: org_external.go vet error undetected for weeks).
• golangci-lint stays || true-guarded with a comment explaining why: lint is noisier than vet, runner images may lack the binary, and the vet/test signal should not be masked by lint noise. Good judgment call.
• The comment citing "Gitea quirk #10 (job-level continue-on-error is ignored)" is accurate — this is documented in gitea-operational-quirks.md.

No concerns. Simple, correct, well-commented.
