Nomad Cuts Pointer Boilerplate

Nomad drops its pointerOf helper and pins Go 1.26, a cleanup that signals the project is moving fast on modernization.

Nomad's API layer shed its custom pointerOf helper in favor of Go's builtin new function, and with it the Go module now requires at least 1.26 [1][2]. This is the kind of housekeeping that pays off in readability and future-proofing, even if it doesn't change runtime behavior. Across the HashiCorp ecosystem, the same maintainer pushed documentation-heavy PRs to go-checkpoint and errwrap, adding contributing guides and LLM PR template links [3][4][5]. Nothing here is urgent, but the consistent focus on lowering the barrier for contributors is a healthy signal. With 3 commits and 3 PRs across 3 repos in the last 24 hours, this is a maintenance-oriented news cycle, not a feature drop.
