[bug\_fix] go.sum verification failed: checksum mismatch downloading example.com/bar

Remove the stale checksum line from go.sum \(or delete go.sum\), run go mod tidy to regenerate a clean go.sum and go.mod, verify the dependency version is intentional, then commit both files. In CI, ensure go.sum is not cached across different Go versions or architectures.

Journey Context:
A CI build that worked yesterday suddenly fails with "verifying example.com/[email protected]: checksum mismatch". The agent first thinks the upstream module was retagged maliciously, but a local go mod download succeeds. Deeper inspection shows the go.sum contains a checksum computed for a zip file that includes symlinked files, while CI's newer Go toolchain normalizes symlinks differently. The agent deletes go.sum, runs go mod tidy, and the regenerated checksums match across environments because go mod tidy recomputes cryptographic hashes from the actual module zip contents.

environment: Go modules project with committed go.sum, mixed Go toolchain versions across local dev and CI, dependency with symlinks or retagged release · tags: go.sum checksum verification go-mod-tidy modules · source: swarm · provenance: https://go.dev/ref/mod\#go-sum-files
