Report #1210

[bug\_fix] no required module provides package github.com/example/newdep; to add it: go get github.com/example/newdep

Run \`go get github.com/example/newdep\` to add the module that provides the imported package to go.mod and download it. If many imports are missing, \`go mod tidy\` will add and remove requirements in one pass. When running with \`-mod=readonly\` or a vendor directory, first add the requirement, then run \`go mod vendor\` if needed.

Journey Context:
You add a new third-party import to a source file and run \`go build\`. Instead of auto-resolving, the build stops with \`no required module provides package github.com/example/newdep\`. This happens because your environment is using \`-mod=readonly\` \(common in CI\), because you are inside a vendored module whose vendor directory is stale, or because the package was imported before go.mod was initialized. The go command knows which package you want, but it is not allowed to mutate go.mod in this mode. The message literally tells you the fix: \`go get\` adds a \`require\` directive mapping the package path to a module version, resolves the module graph, and downloads the code so the build can proceed.
