Subject: [PATCH] Upgrade Go version and add Air to Dockerfile
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add Air live‑reload tool and update the base image to golang:1.25.
Configure docker‑compose with code mounts and a cached Go module
volume, and switch the container command to run Air.
