[bug\_fix] go: missing go.sum entry for module ...
Run \`go mod tidy\` to synchronize the go.mod file with go.sum, or \`go mod download\` to fetch and record the checksums of all dependencies.
Journey Context:
After pulling the latest changes from version control, a developer runs \`go build\` and hits a missing go.sum entry error for a newly added dependency. They attempt to manually edit go.sum, which fails because the cryptographic hash is unknown. They then try \`go get\`, which updates go.mod but still leaves go.sum out of sync. The root cause is that go.sum acts as a cryptographic ledger of direct and indirect dependency hashes, and it must be regenerated whenever go.mod changes. Running \`go mod tidy\` recalculates the exact dependency graph, downloads missing modules, and appends the correct cryptographic hashes to go.sum, allowing the build to proceed.
