fix: use go mod tidy -e to unblock CI Optimization Coach from gopls v0.21.1 incompatibility

[Copilot]

The CI Optimization Coach workflow was failing in the pre-agent build step because go mod tidy (run via make deps-dev) exits with code 1. Root cause: golang.org/x/tools/gopls v0.21.1 has test-transitive dependencies on golang.org/x/tools/internal/mcp, which does not exist in golang.org/x/tools v0.42.0 (current latest stable). Regular CI is unaffected since it runs go mod download only.

Changes

• Makefile: Change go mod tidy → go mod tidy -e in the deps target. The -e flag (error-tolerant mode) lets tidy proceed past unresolvable packages and exit 0.
• go.sum: Remove stale golang.org/x/tools v0.41.0 entries cleaned up by go mod tidy -e.

The internal/mcp incompatibility is a known forward-dependency issue with gopls v0.21.1 being released ahead of the corresponding stable golang.org/x/tools tag. The -e flag can be dropped once golang.org/x/tools v0.43.0+ ships with internal/mcp.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
