[bug\_fix] go: verifying example.com/private/[email protected]: checksum mismatch or go: verifying module: unrecognized revision

Set the \`GOPRIVATE\` environment variable to include the private module path \(e.g., \`export GOPRIVATE=example.com/private/\*\`\) to bypass the public proxy and checksum database.

Journey Context:
A developer sets up a CI pipeline for a project depending on an internal private Git repository. The build fails with a checksum mismatch or an error fetching from the default proxy \(\`proxy.golang.org\`\). The developer tries authenticating with Git, but the Go toolchain still fails. The rabbit hole reveals that by default, the Go command verifies all modules against the public checksum database \(sum.golang.org\) and fetches via the public proxy. Private modules aren't on the public proxy, causing verification to fail. Setting the \`GOPRIVATE\` environment variable tells the Go tooling to fetch the module directly from the source and skip the public checksum verification, resolving the CI failure.
