+## Go Compatibility
+
+The `go` directive in the selected release's [module metadata](../../go.mod)
+declares its minimum supported consumer Go version. Maintainers build and
+validate releases with the locally selected Go patch release; the minimum
+does not simply track that patch version.
+
+Successful release validation on the selected patch is sufficient to presume
+support across its Go series, subject to the declared minimum and concrete
+evidence of incompatibility. Specific compatibility concerns are investigated
+as they arise. Minor releases may raise the minimum; patch releases preserve
+it. Release notes explain increases and any required consumer action. See the
+[release policy](../policy/release.md#consumer-minimum-and-release-toolchain).
