I think we should no longer use a temp mod file in this case, since the go command should no longer mutate the mod file. |

The type checker produces an error if the Go version is too new. When compiled with Go 1.21, this error is silently dropped on the floor and the type checked package is empty, due to golang/go##66525. Guard against this very problematic failure mode by filtering out Go versions that are too new. We should also produce a diagnostic, but that is more complicated and covered by golang/go#61673. Also: fix a bug where sandbox cleanup would fail due to being run with a non-local toolchain. Fixes golang/go#66677 Change-Id: Ia66f17c195382c9c55cf0ef883e898553ce950e3 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/tools/+/576678 Reviewed-by: Alan Donovan <adonovan@google.com> LUCI-TryBot-Result: Go LUCI <golang-scoped@luci-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com>

go version
go 1.21rc3
gopls v0.13.0
How to reproduce the issue
And start gopls from this directory.
go1.23 is not available so this error is expected. (Users who have
GOTOOLCHAIN=localenv would experience similar issues). But the error message that references a temporary go.mod file can be potentially confusing for users. Either rewrite the error message or at least, replace the temporary go.mod file with the original go.mod file in the message.And this diagnostic is attached to the "module" line. But for this specific error, I think the "go" line may be more suitable if feasible.
