- misfeature — rule enabled, waived only for the 6 Windows shell: cmd
workflows (catches any future misuse elsewhere).
- excessive-permissions and artipacked — fixed and fully enforced
(removed from gate).

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Chores**
* Updated security hardening tools across multiple GitHub Actions
workflows to the latest available version for enhanced CI/CD
infrastructure protection and resilience.
* Enabled additional security validation rules in workflow configuration
to strengthen infrastructure oversight and improve vulnerability
detection capabilities across build and deployment pipelines.

Updating actions/setup-go to v6.3.0 from a mix of different versions.
This gets us faster CI runs, with improvements such as:
- built in Go module cache AND Go build cache (separate cache no longer
needed)
- using go.mod resulting in fewer cache invalidations
- faster Node 24 runtime
- using go.dev download URL, which is more reliable

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Chores**
* Upgraded security protections across build and deployment workflows
for enhanced runner environment hardening.
* Strengthened CI/CD infrastructure security measures throughout
automated processes.
* No direct user-facing changes.
