[bug\_fix] module path mismatch: example.com/foo: go.mod says example.com/bar

Change the module path in go.mod to match the actual import path used in the source code \(e.g., \`module example.com/foo\`\). Then run \`go mod tidy\` to update all references.

Journey Context:
A developer created a new Go module locally with \`go mod init example.com/bar\`, but later renamed the repository to \`example.com/foo\`. They updated the import statements in all .go files but forgot to change the \`module\` directive in \`go.mod\`. When they tried to build using \`go build ./...\`, the compiler produced the mismatch error. The developer spent 30 minutes checking import paths, verifying no typos, and even deleting \`go.sum\`. They finally noticed the \`module\` line in \`go.mod\` still said \`bar\`. The fix was straightforward: edit go.mod to \`module example.com/foo\` and run \`go mod tidy\` to realign the checksums. The root cause is that Go modules enforce a strict correspondence between the module path declared in go.mod and the import paths used by packages within that module.
