I would be
astonished
if there isn't an automated tool to check for that at the push of a button. I would be mildly surprised if there isn't a compiler flag to check for it.

Not a compiler check, but staticcheck is widely used:
% staticcheck test.go test.go:7:2: this value of err is never used (SA4006)

https://staticcheck.dev/docs/checks/#SA4006
has existed since 2017.

There very much is not. There is a compiler error you can’t disable if a variable is

and that is it.
