ci: harden CI and fix pre-existing errcheck findings

[JonahMMay]

Summary

Clean-up pass: CI hardening, plus the fixes below.

• Tests gate CI: removed || true from go test, so failing tests fail the job. The if: always() upload step still keeps the coverage profile.
• Pinned actions: every uses: points at a full commit SHA with a # vX.Y.Z comment, which Renovate keeps updated.
• golangci-lint pinned to v2.14.0 instead of latest.
• Checkout credentials: persist-credentials: false on release jobs that never push. The job that pushes the release tag still keeps them.
• Makefile: build-all stops at the first failed platform build (|| exit 1), is listed in .PHONY, and clean removes dist.
• CONTRIBUTING: the validation block lists the lint and coverage commands CI runs.
• errcheck: resp.Body.Close() errors in provider/client.go are now explicitly discarded. These hits already existed and were hidden by only-new-issues; a full lint run now reports 0 issues.
• grpc: google.golang.org/grpc v1.82.1 → v1.83.2 (go mod tidy), for GO-2026-4762 / -6061 / -6348 / -6443. CodeRabbit flagged these on the audiobook and SDK sync PRs; every plugin was below the fixed version.
• CONTRIBUTING SDK wording: go.mod pins the SDK to a pseudo-version, so the guide no longer calls it a "tagged" or "released" dependency (the same finding CodeRabbit raised on the ebook and audiobook sync PRs).

Validation

golangci-lint run --max-issues-per-linter=0 --max-same-issues=0 ./...  # 0 issues (was 4 errcheck)
go test ./... -count=1 -covermode=atomic -coverprofile=coverage.out    # ok
./scripts/check-coverage.sh coverage.out                               # coverage 96.3% (min 95.0%)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI and release workflows pin actions to commit SHAs. CI now fails on test errors and uses golangci-lint v2.14.0. The Makefile changes build and cleanup behavior. HTTP response paths explicitly discard body close errors.

Changes

CI and release automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI validation and local instructions .github/workflows/ci.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md	CI pins its actions, sets golangci-lint to v2.14.0, and no longer suppresses test failures. CONTRIBUTING.md lists lint, test, and coverage commands and states the 95% statement coverage floor.
Release workflow action pins .github/workflows/release.yml	The release workflow pins its actions to commit SHAs. Two checkout steps disable persisted credentials; the build checkout still uses the generated release tag.

Build target behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build and cleanup targets Makefile	build-all is phony, clean removes dist, and build-all exits with status 1 when a platform build fails.

HTTP response body handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Response body close handling provider/client.go	Client.doGet explicitly discards response body close errors on HTTP 429, 5xx, and 4xx paths and during response decoding.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Line 34: Update the local lint command in the contribution guide to set
GOWORK=off when running golangci-lint, ensuring it uses released modules rather
than a discovered local workspace.
- Line 46: Update the CONTRIBUTING.md guidance around golangci-lint to clarify
that `golangci-lint run ./...` checks the full repository and may report
pre-existing issues that CI’s `only-new-issues` filter ignores; describe it as a
stricter local check or document a command with equivalent filtering.

Review comments at @Makefile:
- Line 19: Update the build-all target to create the dist directory with mkdir
-p before its platform loop writes dist/plugin-... outputs.
