Pull request overview

This pull request updates the tools/eventlist module to a newer Go toolchain version and modernizes CI/linting configuration, then applies code changes to satisfy the updated lint/tooling checks.

Changes:

• Bump tools/eventlist Go version and refresh module metadata (go.mod / go.sum).
• Update GitHub Actions workflow dependencies and adjust CI behavior (linting, caching, coverage gating).
• Apply linter-driven fixes across parsing/eval/output code paths and relax/remove legacy golint nolint directives in tests.

• These helpers use unsafe.Pointer to reinterpret int32/uint32, but Go's same-width integer conversions already preserve the low 32 bits. Switching to plain casts removes unsafe usage and is easier to audit; add a focused //nolint:gosec if gosec flags the conversion (G115) as a false-positive for this bit-pattern use case.

func uint32FromInt32(value int32) uint32 {
	return *(*uint32)(unsafe.Pointer(&value))
}
