This is, perhaps unfortunately, expected behavior. The "go fmt" command is the "fmt" subcommand of the "go" command. It takes a list of packages. If no package is listed, it applies to the current directory. Because it is part of the "go" command, it looks at imports, finds packages, and does other things that the "go" command does. The docs are at https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Gofmt__reformat__package_sources. The "gofmt" command is a simpler command that formats one or more source files. If no source files are listed, it reads a Go file on standard input and emits the formatted version on standard output. The "gofmt" command is invoked by "go fmt". The "gofmt" command has more options than the "go fmt" command, but on the other hand it won't find packages for you. The docs are at https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/gofmt. This has been discussed before, for example https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/t-tSHt8RG-4, https://go.dev/issue/33263, https://go.dev/issue/35258.
