docs: add note about golangci-lint v2 integration in VS Code

[lvlcn-t]

Motivation

#5706 removed the link to vscode-go#3732 because it is resolved in the v0.47.2 pre-release of the extension.
However, the fix is not yet available for stable users — the next stable release (v0.48.0) is still pending.

This causes confusion for stable users of the extension who still encounter the issue with golangci-lint v2 integration, as they need to search for a fix.

Changes

Added a short note under the VS Code section of the integrations page to inform users that they may need to switch to the pre-release version of the vscode-go extension if they want golangci-lint v2 integration to work properly.

docs: add note about golangci-lint v2 integration in Visual Studio Code

This commit adds a note to the docs about how to integrate
golangci-lint v2 with VS Code since the Go extension's stable
version does not support it yet.

For more information on this, you can refer to the linked
vscode-go#3732 issue comment.

@lvlcn-t Unfortunately the instructions in https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/integrations/#visual-studio-code do not work for golangci-lint v2 (github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/[email protected]). Could you please document the min vscode version and exact config required?

    "go.lintTool": "golangci-lint",
    "go.lintFlags": [
        "--fast-only",
        "--path-mode=abs",
    ],

The instructions work for golangci-lint v2 (only), and the documentation also includes the minimum version of the VSCode extension (0.47.2).

I am using v0.47.2 (pre-release) and self installed golangci-lint

golangci-lint has version v2.1.6 built with go1.24.3 from (unknown, modified: ?, mod sum: "h1:LXqShFfAGM5BDzEOWD2SL1IzJAgUOqES/HRBsfKjI+w=") on (unknown)

Vscode still does not show the lint errors in the Problems tab that golangci-lint run does.

If you still have the problem, can you open a dedicated discussion?

And provide the following information:

Your settings.json.

code --version 

code --list-extensions --show-versions | grep 'golang.go@'
# OR if you don't have grep
code --list-extensions --show-versions

golangci-lint --version

go version
