#Why it matters

Standard library functions that take `context.Context` panic or skip cancellation semantics when called with `nil`. Use `context.Background()`, `context.TODO()`, or a propagated context instead.

#Remediation

Use `context.Background()`, `context.TODO()`, or a propagated context value instead of `nil`.
