github.com/Knetic/govaluate has been archived. Switch all import paths in the source tree and go.mod to the maintained fork at github.com/projectdiscovery/govaluate (bug fixes + perf improvements, API-compatible). All tests still pass.

Summary
github.com/Knetic/govaluateis archived. The maintained fork atgithub.com/projectdiscovery/govaluateis API-compatible and ships the bug fixes + perf improvements that have accumulated over the years (most recently nuclei#5580 quote-string parsing).This swap unblocks the same migration on the nuclei side (see projectdiscovery/nuclei#7380) — without it, dsl's exported helper types collide with nuclei's import-path swap because go modules can't satisfy two different module paths from the same source.
Changes
engine.go,dsl.go,func.go,dsl_test.go,dsl_benchmark_test.go— replacegithub.com/Knetic/govaluatewithgithub.com/projectdiscovery/govaluatein imports.go.mod/go.sum— drop the Knetic require, add the projectdiscovery fork.No public-API changes. The
govaluate.ExpressionFunction/govaluate.NewEvaluableExpression*types and constructors that callers reach for stay shape-identical.Tests
go test ./...— all packages still pass.
