node show says a found firewall that was uninstalled is removed (hq ADR 0175)

Four example Dockerfiles named golang:1.25 while go.mod requires 1.26;
the control plane's image takes GO_BASE from the manifest and these did
not, so a build that could not fetch a newer toolchain failed at go mod
download (found running the lab through the mesh).
