[bug\_fix] go: malformed module path "github.com/MyOrg/MyRepo": invalid char 'M'

Rename the repository to use only lowercase letters and update the go.mod module path to match \(e.g., github.com/myorg/myrepo\). Go module paths must adhere to the import path rules, which prohibit uppercase letters.

Journey Context:
A developer creates a new GitHub repository named MyRepo and initializes it locally with go mod init github.com/MyOrg/MyRepo. Everything seems fine until another developer tries to go get the module and encounters the malformed module path error. The first developer checks their local environment and sees it working, wondering if it's a case-sensitivity issue. They dig into the Go specification and discover that Go enforces strict rules on import paths to ensure portability and avoid case-insensitive filesystem collisions. The module path must consist only of lowercase letters, digits, and limited special characters. The fix requires renaming the repository on the hosting platform and updating the go.mod file, as uppercase letters are fundamentally illegal in Go module paths.
