Summary

• Remove the experimental packages/browseros/build_go Go port of the BrowserOS browser build tool.
• Keep the supported Python build system under packages/browseros/build as the shipped build path.
• Preserve unrelated Go tools such as packages/browseros/tools/patch and packages/browseros-agent/apps/cli.

Design

The Go build tool was isolated under packages/browseros/build_go and had no checked-in callers outside its own module. The Python browseros CLI remains the documented and CI-used build system, so this is a direct module deletion instead of a replacement or migration.

Test plan

• test ! -e packages/browseros/build_go && ! git grep -n "build_go" HEAD -- .
• git diff --check 050a13a2649cfbd79665cef81e931f799e3a9bdc..HEAD
• uv run --project packages/browseros python -m unittest build.common.resolver_test
• go test ./... in packages/browseros/tools/patch
• bun run check in packages/browseros-agent

Review

• Local adversarial review: clean, no findings.

Code Review

• Gather PR context
• Read CLAUDE.md for repo guidelines
• Inspect the diff and deleted files
• Verify no remaining references to build_go
• Check that preserved Go tools are untouched
• Provide review feedback

Summary: This is a clean, low-risk deletion. The PR removes packages/browseros/build_go (86 files, ~17k lines) in a single atomic commit with no collateral changes.

What was verified

Check	Result
build_go references anywhere in repo	✅ None found (grep across all files)
Changes outside packages/browseros/build_go/	✅ Zero — diff is surgically scoped
packages/browseros/build (Python) still present	✅ Intact
packages/browseros/tools/patch still present	✅ Intact
packages/browseros-agent/apps/cli still present	✅ Intact
CI/Makefile references to build_go	✅ None

Observations

1. Self-contained module — the deleted go.mod declared module path github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS/packages/browseros/build_go. No other module in the repo imported it, so there are no broken import paths to chase down.

2. Single commit, atomic — all 86 files deleted in one commit. No partial state left behind.

3. Test plan is solid — the PR's checklist covers: absence check, git diff whitespace check, Python resolver test, Go test for the patch tool, and bun check for the agent. These are the right regression surfaces.

4. README was clear about the experimental status — the deleted README explicitly said the Go tool was "not shipped to release CI" and the Python tool remains the documented path. This is unambiguous cleanup, not premature removal.

Minor observations (no action needed)

• The go.sum had 47 lines of transitive dependencies that are now fully gone — no leftover go.sum cruft in any parent module since this was an independent module root.
• The deletion preserves the build/ Python tree and tools/patch Go tool cleanly — the boundary between "experiment" and "shipped" is respected.

Verdict

LGTM. No issues found. This is exactly the right way to unship an experiment: atomic deletion of an isolated module with no callers, preserving everything else. The test plan covers the relevant regression surfaces.

Greptile Summary

This PR removes the experimental Go port of the BrowserOS browser build tool (packages/browseros/build_go), which was never shipped or referenced by any CI workflow or external caller. The Python build system under packages/browseros/build remains the supported path.

• 86 files and ~17 000 lines of Go code are deleted cleanly, with zero remaining references to build_go anywhere in the repository (git grep returns nothing on HEAD).
• Unrelated Go tooling (packages/browseros/tools/patch) and the agent CLI (packages/browseros-agent/apps/cli) are explicitly preserved and are untouched by this diff.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Pure deletion of an isolated, never-shipped experimental module — no surviving callers, no CI references, and no impact on the Python build path or other Go tools.

Every deleted file belonged exclusively to the packages/browseros/build_go module. A post-deletion git grep confirms zero remaining references to build_go anywhere in the repository, including CI workflows, Makefiles, and configuration files. The Python build system and the unrelated Go tools are completely untouched.

No files require special attention — the deletion is complete and self-contained.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
packages/browseros/build_go/main.go	Entry point of the deleted Go build tool — clean removal, no callers remain in the repo.
packages/browseros/build_go/go.mod	Go module declaration deleted along with all its dependencies; go.sum also removed, leaving no orphaned module references.
packages/browseros/build_go/Makefile	Build targets for the Go tool deleted; no CI workflow references any of these targets.
packages/browseros/build_go/internal/release/release.go	Largest single file (~556 lines) in the deleted module; removed as part of the clean bulk deletion.
packages/browseros/build_go/internal/vendorup/vendorup.go	~763-line vendor-update helper; cleanly deleted with no surviving references.

Greptile Summary

This PR removes the experimental Go port of the BrowserOS browser build tool (packages/browseros/build_go) that was never shipped or used in CI, keeping the supported Python build system under packages/browseros/build as the canonical path.

• 86 files, ~17 000 lines deleted — the entire build_go directory is removed; no callers outside its own module existed, and no references to build_go remain in the repository after this change.
• The self-contained Go module (github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS/packages/browseros/build_go) had its own go.mod/go.sum and was never referenced by a go.work file or any CI pipeline, making this a straightforward dead-code removal.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — this is a pure deletion of a self-contained, never-shipped Go module with no remaining callers.

All 86 deleted files belong exclusively to the build_go module; no go.work file existed to tie it to other modules, git grep confirms zero references to build_go in HEAD, and CI pipelines never invoked its Makefile targets. The Python build system under packages/browseros/build and the unrelated Go tools (tools/patch, browseros-agent) are untouched.

No files require special attention — every changed file is a deletion within the isolated packages/browseros/build_go directory.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
packages/browseros/build_go/main.go	Entry point for the deleted Go build tool — cleanly removed with the rest of the module.
packages/browseros/build_go/go.mod	Go module definition removed; no go.work file references it, so no dangling module dependency remains.
packages/browseros/build_go/cmd/build.go	Core build command implementation deleted along with all other cmd/ files — no live callers remain.
packages/browseros/build_go/internal/release/release.go	Largest internal module (556 lines) removed; was only consumed within build_go itself.
packages/browseros/build_go/Makefile	Build targets for the Go tool removed; no CI pipeline referenced these targets.
