Current evaluation

Go plugin lacks disable-parallel support. Filed by maintainer as low-priority enhancement, labeled Needs information, explicitly awaiting a real-world use case that never arrived in 363 days of zero activity.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The maintainer (lengau) filed this issue and explicitly stated it is 'extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case.' The issue is labeled 'Needs information' and has had zero comments or activity for 363 days, well past the 6-month threshold. No use case was ever provided, and the go plugin code confirms disable-parallel is still absent. The same pattern holds across 10+ sibling plugin issues, all equally dormant.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Support the [disable-parallel](https://canonical-craft-parts.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/common/craft-parts/reference/part_properties/#disable-parallel) part property in the go plugin. ### Why it needs to get done All of our plugins should theoretically support this. In practice though, this is extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case for it. If someone can bring us a real-world use case that we can test against (especially a case of "this application simply does not build with parallel"), that would be ideal. The [autotools plugin](https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/pull/1167) required this for OpenJDK builds, for example.
