Report #11665

[bug\_fix] go: @: missing go.sum entry; to add it: go mod download @

Run \`go mod tidy\` or \`go mod download @\` to fetch the missing module and populate go.sum with its verified cryptographic hash.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import to their code or updates a dependency in go.mod. They run go build and get a cryptic error about a missing go.sum entry. They might try manually editing go.sum or copying hashes from GitHub, which fails with hash mismatch errors. The realization hits that go.sum is a verified ledger of dependencies, not a simple manifest. Running go mod tidy recalculates the entire dependency tree, fetches any missing modules, and populates go.sum with the correct cryptographic hashes, satisfying the build system's integrity checks.
