Walkthrough

This PR upgrades the Go toolchain requirement from version 1.25.0 to 1.25.6. The root go.mod and tools/go.mod version directives are bumped, and the Makefile and version automation script are updated to use the matching .6 patch selector when applying Go version changes.

Changes

Go Version Upgrade to 1.25.6

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Go module version directives go.mod, tools/go.mod	Both module files update their go directive from 1.25.0 to 1.25.6.
Build and automation tooling updates Makefile, update-go-version.sh	The vendor target now invokes go mod tidy -go $(GOVERSION).6, and the version automation script updates go.mod files to ${golang_base_version}.6 instead of .0 to maintain consistency.

Poem

🐰 A patch so small, a number so fine,
From .0 to .6, the versions align,
Makefile and scripts march in sync,
Go toolchain upgraded in a blink!
