Also bump to 1.26, the new minimum version based on go 1.27 being released (we needed the fips detail output too) With Go 1.24+, and specifically 1.26+ it's a lot easier to be FIPS compliant for more rigorous and restricted deployment enviornments. This is a super lightweight add on in terms of complexity to the codebase (as this is just really modifying the build path. If a deployment wants to use a non-FIPS algorithm, then they can terminate the TLS connection outside of the flagd instance. If you need the outbound connections to use an insecure protocol then the flag `--require-fips=false` can be disabled. This has no impact on plaintext/insecure mdoe without TLS.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/build.yaml:
- Around line 79-89: Restrict the workflow job running test-fips to read-only
repository access by setting permissions contents to read, and configure
actions/checkout to use persist-credentials false. Update the checkout step and
the relevant workflow/job permissions without changing the test execution.
In @.github/workflows/release-please.yaml:
- Around line 206-217: Remove linux_i386 from the FIPS release and validation
sets, including the suffix loop in “Verify binaries were built against the
certified crypto module”; keep it published separately as non-FIPS if the
workflow still needs to produce that artifact.
In `@core/pkg/fips/fips.go`:
- Around line 48-50: Update Status.BuiltForFIPS to compare BuildSetting against
the complete certified module build setting rather than using a prefix match, so
other v1.0.0-* suffixes are rejected; add a test covering a different suffix and
preserving the certified value as true.
In `@docs/reference/fips-140-3.md`:
- Around line 137-141: Resolve the contradiction in the dependency-closure
description by updating the sentence beginning “A further set” so crypto/des and
crypto/rc4 remain identified as standard-library-only paths, while crypto/sha1
and crypto/md5 are removed from the “reachable only” list or explicitly
qualified as standard-library paths. Keep the documented cloud SDK dependency
paths for crypto/md5 and crypto/sha1 consistent with the preceding entries.
- Line 57: Update the non-FIPS build status statement in the FIPS documentation
to explicitly qualify that it assumes the default GODEBUG value with FIPS mode
disabled. Preserve the existing behavior description for binaries built without
GOFIPS140.
- Line 84: Update the TLS 1.2 cipher-suites entry to enumerate all six supported
suites explicitly, pairing AES-128 with SHA256 and AES-256 with SHA384, and
remove the brace notation that implies unsupported cross-paired combinations.
In `@flagd/go.mod`:
- Around line 3-5: Update the FIPS job’s setup-go configuration to explicitly
use go-version 1.26.4 instead of relying on the go.mod directive, then add a go
version assertion immediately before make test-fips to verify the selected
toolchain is Go 1.26.4.
In `@snap/snapcraft.yaml`:
- Around line 25-28: Update the snap build-environment alongside GOFIPS140 and
CGO_ENABLED to set GOTOOLCHAIN to local, ensuring the Snapcraft Go plugin uses
the repository’s configured Go toolchain rather than selecting or downloading
another version.
In `@test/loadtest/go.mod`:
- Line 5: Update the toolchain directives to Go 1.26.7 in
test/loadtest/go.mod:5-5 and test/zero-downtime-flagd-proxy/go.mod:5-5,
replacing Go 1.26.4 in both test modules.

Vault/Consul/Teleport all have a FIPs and non-FIPS binary. I can't find anything in the "cloud native" space that has a startup switch.
I think that approach will be simpler.
