The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
When you think about software built for automated writing assistance, a lot of assumptions probably come to mind. You have heard terms like cloud-based, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. You have been promised sophisticated, human-like feedback to dramatically improve your writing. Vale is none of that; it was not designed to be, and it does not try to be. To put it succinctly, Vale does not teach you how to write, it is a tool for writers. This distinction is particularly important to understand because Vale does not offer any of its own advice. Instead, it offers a framework for creating and enforcing custom rules. Its approach is much more similar to code linters than it is to traditional grammar checkers.

various: Bump Go ports for 1.24.9

This is a direct commit to 2025Q4. It'll definitely bring things (esp.
PORTREVISION lines) out of sync with main, but trying to MFH the
associated bump commit would bring in a massive quantity of conflicts.
