 Linked Go binaries and test binaries now record a Go toolchain build ID, as `go build` does. Without one the linker omits the Mach-O `LC_UUID` load command and the ELF GNU build-id note, and macOS 26 refuses to load a binary that declares a recent SDK and has no `LC_UUID`.
 
+Fixed `[go-test].force_race` and the `go_package` fields `test_race`, `test_msan` and `test_asan` being silently ignored. The `test` goal built its Go build options without requesting the test-specific fields, so the sanitizer settings never reached the test binary and only the owning `go_mod`'s `race` field had any effect.

 ### Plugin API changes
 
 `Target`, `TargetAdaptor`, `SourceBlock`, `SourceBlocks`, `TextBlock` and `Hunk` are now backed by native Rust implementations. They are still importable from their previous locations and their public constructors, attributes and methods are unchanged, but they are no longer Python dataclasses and they are built in `__new__` rather than `__init__`, so `dataclasses.is_dataclass`, `dataclasses.fields` and `dataclasses.replace` no longer apply to them. Defining subclasses in Python, and setting attributes on those subclasses, continues to work as before.
