Addresses errcheck, gosec, revive, staticcheck, and unused findings
across the codebase (unchecked error returns, unsafe file inclusion
warnings on operator/test-controlled paths, missing package comments,
unused parameters, deprecated API usage). Also fixes two suppression
comments that were silently no-ops due to wrong syntax (#nosec needs
a leading '#', nolint reasons need '//' not '--').
With the backlog clear, drop continue-on-error from the CI lint job
per the plan left in b4b4806.
