Hi, and thank you for Burrow.

One-line docs fix: the README's Getting Started section says the lowest supported Go is 1.11 (recommending 1.12), but the project actually requires far newer:

  • go.mod: go 1.24.0
  • CI matrix: go-version: [1.25.x]
  • Dockerfile: FROM golang:1.25.1-alpine

Someone following the README with Go 1.12 would fail at go build. This PR updates the sentence to match go.mod (1.24 minimum, CI on 1.25).

For transparency: I used AI assistance to spot and draft this; I verified go.mod, the CI matrix, and the Dockerfile myself.
