<issue_title>[plan] Update golangci-lint dependency to v2.7.2</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective

Update the golangci-lint dependency from v1.62.2 to v2.7.2 in the project's dependency management files.

Context

This is the first step in the golangci-lint v2 upgrade. We need to update the dependency declaration before running the migration tool.

Approach

1. Update go.mod with the new version
2. Update tools.go import statement
3. Run go mod tidy to update go.sum
4. Run go mod download to fetch the new version
5. Verify the installation

Files to Modify

• go.mod - Update golangci-lint version to v2.7.2
• tools.go - Verify import statement (likely no change needed)
• go.sum - Will be updated automatically by go mod tidy

Commands

# Update to v2.7.2
go get github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v2.7.2

# Clean up dependencies
go mod tidy

# Verify installation
go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint version

Acceptance Criteria

• go.mod shows golangci-lint v2.7.2
• go.sum contains v2.7.2 checksums
• golangci-lint version command shows v2.7.2
• No dependency conflicts in go.mod
• make deps completes successfully

Notes

This task only updates the dependency. The configuration migration happens in the next task.

Configuration migrated to v2 format using the migration tool. The changes include:

• Added version: "2" at the top of the configuration
• Removed run.timeout (disabled by default in v2)
• Restructured linters settings into linters.settings section
• Moved issue exclusions to linters.exclusions section
• Created new formatters section for gofmt and goimports

All originally enabled linters (errcheck, govet, ineffassign, misspell, revive, staticcheck, unused) are still active and the linter now works successfully.

@copilot format and lint

Formatting and linting complete. Applied golangci-lint v2 auto-fixes and manual corrections to 63 files:

• Used --fix flag to automatically fix quickfix suggestions
• Manually applied De Morgan's law transformations to 6 files for hex validation logic
• Fixed error string capitalization in bundler_validation.go
• All linting checks now pass with 0 issues

@copilot fix compilation, run tests and fix code

@copilot fix compilation, run tests and fix code

Fixed compilation and test issues. The problem was an incorrect if-else to switch conversion in the bundler code that changed the behavior of break (switch break vs loop break).

• ✅ All tests now pass (including previously failing TestOnSectionWithQuotes, TestStopAfterCompiledAway, etc.)
• ✅ Build successful
• ✅ Linting passes with 0 issues
• ✅ Code properly formatted

The issue was that golangci-lint's auto-fix suggested using a switch statement, but in this specific case the break keyword needs to break out of the for loop, not just the switch. Reverted to if-else with a nolint comment explaining the reasoning.
