What did you do?

my main code

)

func main() {
var engine = gin.Default()
engine.GET("/", func(ctx *gin.Context) {

})
logrus.SetReportCaller(true)
logrus.SetLevel(logrus.DebugLevel)
logrus.Info("hello logrus")
engine.Run(":8081")
}
`

my go.mod

`module gx

go 1.22

`

before exec go mod tidy

go version go version go1.22.12 linux/amd64

exec go mod tidy

and then exec go version
(base) ➜ gx go version go version go1.24.9 linux/amd64

What did you see happen?

my local go version from 1.22.12 update to 1.24.9

What did you expect to see?

i expected my local version keep 1.22.12 and go mod tidy download the right version of module which deps go version not more than 1.22.12.

Go has a backward compatibility promise, thus go statement inside go.mod specifies a minimum version of go.
Go 1.22 is not supposed and has security issues, we do not support toolchain version pinning inside the go.mod.
