fix: resolve all golangci-lint errors

- Add error checks for w.Write, json.Encode, os.MkdirAll, os.WriteFile, file.Seek
- Fix gosimple S1000: use for range instead of for { select {} }
- Fix ineffectual assignments in adaptive_io.go
- Add nolint directives for unused code intended for future use
- Fix SA1029: use custom contextKey type instead of string
- Fix SA9003: remove empty branch in client_network_handler.go
- All linting checks now pass
