update_vettedpositions

To update vetted positions after line numbers shift, run goanalysis and make sort-vettedpositions to align .vettedpositions entries with the new warning locations, ensuring stale offsets are removed before committing.

Line-number drift occurs when minor refactoring shifts code positions without introducing new issues. goanalysis detects these positional moves, requiring .vettedpositions updates to preserve previously approved warnings without masking genuine new reports.

Keep .vettedpositions accurate by running the update procedure to compare goanalysis output against existing entries, sort the vetted list, and commit changes that refresh stale offsets while maintaining trust in vetted data.

Rerun goanalysis to sync vetted positions whenever code reformatting or minor refactors bump line numbers, ensuring .vettedpositions reflects current locations and automation reports stay clean without hiding genuine warnings.

Updating .vettedpositions does not mask new warnings. The procedure detects harmless line drift by comparing reported positions against previous entries, acting only on positional moves while preserving genuine goanalysis warnings.

The safe maintenance workflow involves running goanalysis, executing make sort-vettedpositions to order the list, and committing changes to maintain accurate vetted data without masking genuine code warnings.
