[bug\_fix] verifying module: checksum mismatch; go.sum is out of date

Run \`go mod tidy\` to regenerate go.sum, or delete the existing go.sum and run \`go mod download\` to fetch fresh checksums. If using a proxy, ensure the GOFLAGS and GONOSUMCHECK are not masking the issue.

Journey Context:
Our CI pipeline started failing with a checksum mismatch for a dependency we hadn't changed. A colleague had manually edited go.sum to fix a merge conflict, inadvertently replacing the hash for a module version with an invalid one. The checksum database \(sum.golang.org\) is authoritative, and any mismatch causes a hard error. Debugging involved checking the go.sum files across branches, verifying the downloaded module contents with \`go mod verify\`, and finally comparing the expected checksum from the sum database. The fix was to revert the go.sum file to the version from the main branch and run \`go mod tidy\`.

environment: Go 1.19, CI on GitHub Actions, sum.golang.org enabled, merging pull requests with git conflicts · tags: go.sum checksum verification build failure · source: swarm · provenance: https://go.dev/ref/mod\#go-sum-files
