FLEX-WP-0040-T07: v14 release candidate is the Go 1.26.10 image (main-f4c9f2b)

Candidate image forgejo.coulomb.social/coulomb/flex-auth@sha256:dce2ce6f1def41d162c999818caeee09dc5404331f305b0d20306fade450dd6c (revision label f4c9f2b). Read-only checks: v14 and v13 policy directories byte-identical to source, package digests 8911458f (v14) and 31be5985 (v13), in-image validate 46/46 and 32/32, offline verify requests answer self_approval_refused / approval_action_not_admitted on v14, Trivy HIGH/CRITICAL = 0 (same pinned scanner). Values, twin, pin test, runbook (scan gate passed; informed-decision side ready at RELEASE_SHA 005709a3, image ca75f0be, carrying 80ef840) and evidence move to this digest; the 154726d2 image is superseded.

-Trivy (HIGH/CRITICAL) finds four Go stdlib 1.26.7 CVEs in both binaries of the candidate
-(CVE-2026-111943, CVE-2026-78667, CVE-2026-78669, CVE-2026-97031; fixed in Go 1.26.9 /
-1.26.10). The image in force (`6c6dc263`) has **the same four**, so the candidate does not
-regress, but the earlier release bar (zero HIGH/CRITICAL, FLEX-WP-0034) is not met. Either
-accept for this release (no regression) or ask the owner for a Go toolchain bump and
-rebuild first, which yields a new digest and requires re-running the checks in the evidence
-file. Do not proceed without choosing.
+The first candidate (`main-2de0f86`, `sha256:154726d2…4776`) carried four Go stdlib 1.26.7
+HIGH CVEs (CVE-2026-111943, CVE-2026-78667, CVE-2026-78669, CVE-2026-97031), as does the image
+in force (`6c6dc263`). Founder decision 2026-11-01: bump Go and rebuild. Commit `f4c9f2b`
+moved the builder to `golang:1.26.10-alpine` and `go.mod` to `go 1.26.10`; nothing else changed.
+The rebuilt candidate above has **0 HIGH/CRITICAL** (same pinned Trivy, OS layer and both
+binaries). Its v14 and v13 policy directories are byte-identical to the source, the package
+digests are `8911458f…0fde` (v14) and `31be5985…3711873` (v13), and in-image `validate`
+passes 46/46 (v14) and 32/32 (v13). The `154726d2` image must not be released.
