How embedding JSON schemas, YAML controls, Go templates, and a pack registry index into the binary eliminates external file dependencies — critical for air-gapped deployment and deterministic evaluation. A security CLI that depends on external schema files to validate input is a CLI that breaks when deployed to a Docker container, a CI runner, or an air-gapped server where those files don't exist. go:embed solves this by compiling files into the binary at build time. The binary carries its own schemas, controls, templates, and registry index. No installation step. No file path configuration. No "schema file not found" errors in production. Here are four ways to use, each solving a different embed problem. 1. JSON Schemas — Validation Without a Registry //go:embed embedded/*/*/*.json var embeddedFS embed .…
