What did you do?

go get golang.org/x/crypto

What did you see happen?

go: upgraded go 1.23 => 1.23.0
go: added toolchain go1.23.7

What did you expect to see?

No go version upgrade and no toolchain directive added to the go.mod file.

I believe the reason is that in go.mod file there is go 1.23.0 directive. Shouldn't it be go 1.23 instead?

No, go directives now contain patch version.
