The config package used `package _config` with a leading underscore,
which is unconventional in Go. Rename to `package config` (matching the
directory name) and use `cfg` as the standard import alias across all
93 importing files.
Add explicit error discards (_ =) for Close() calls on network
connections, SQL rows, and file handles across 28 files. Also add
.golangci.yml with standard linter defaults to match CI configuration.
Re-enable the golangci-lint job in CI (disabled Oct 2025), update to
Go 1.25 and golangci-lint-action v7. Fix errcheck, gosimple S1009,
staticcheck SA4031 and SA2001 errors across 54 files. Remaining ~39
lint errors will be addressed in follow-up commits.
