Hi @freeformz 👋🏻

Thanks for reporting this. The autobuilder should be excluding go.work files from vendor directories, so this does look like a bug. We will look at getting this fixed for an upcoming release.

Other than resulting in unnecessary work being done, does this cause you any other issues?
