1.9.8 (May 24, 2026)

SECURITY:

• Upgrade to use x/net 0.55.0.
  This resolves GO-2026-4918 [GH-5308]

BUG FIXES:

• connect-init: fix incorrect FIPS Consul version check that caused misleading WARN messages in the consul-connect-inject-init init container logs even when a fully FIPS-compliant setup was used. The original check queried /v1/agent/version with a non-pointer map, so the response was never decoded and both FIPS warnings fired on every pod startup. The fix decodes the endpoint response correctly and checks the returned FIPS value. [GH-5252]
