[bug\_fix] go: import path ... does not match module path ...

Update the \`module\` directive in go.mod to match the canonical repository import path, and update all import statements in the Go source files accordingly.

Journey Context:
A developer forks a repository on GitHub to fix a bug, clones it locally, and tries to build. The build fails with an import path mismatch error. They check their GOPATH and GOROOT, assuming an environment issue, and even try replacing the dependency using \`go mod replace\`. However, the root cause is that the go.mod file still contains the original upstream module path \(e.g., \`module github.com/original/repo\`\), while the developer's code imports the forked path \(e.g., \`github.com/dev/repo\`\), or vice versa. In Go modules, the \`module\` directive in go.mod defines the module's identity, and all internal import paths must strictly match this prefix. The fix is to update go.mod to \`module github.com/dev/repo\` and perform a project-wide find-and-replace to update all internal import statements to match the new module path.
