[bug\_fix] module path mismatch: go.mod declares example.com/foo but import path is github.com/user/foo

Align the module path in go.mod with the actual repository/import path, or add a \`replace\` directive in the consuming module. If you forked or renamed the repo, run \`go mod edit -module=new/path\` and update all internal imports. Never hand-edit import strings across files without also updating go.mod.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repo, runs \`go build\`, and gets \`go: inconsistent vendoring\` or \`module declares its path as X but was required as Y\`. They suspect a vendoring issue and delete \`vendor/\`, then \`go mod tidy\`, but the error persists. They check \`go env GOPROXY\`, suspect a proxy cache issue, and try \`GOPROXY=direct go build\`. Still failing. Eventually they open \`go.mod\` and realize the module declaration does not match the git remote URL or the import statements. The mismatch can happen after forking, renaming a GitHub org, or copy-pasting code from another project. The fix is correcting the canonical module path in go.mod so the Go module graph can resolve the identity of the module.
