Report #1309

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

Run \`go mod tidy\` to ensure all transitive dependencies are added to \`go.sum\`, or run the specific \`go mod download\` command suggested in the error.

Journey Context:
A developer updates a dependency in \`go.mod\` manually or via \`go get\`, but doesn't run \`go mod tidy\`. They commit the code. A teammate pulls the code and runs \`go build\`, but it fails with "missing go.sum entry". The teammate tries \`go build ./...\` but it still fails. They wonder if the proxy is down or if the dependency was deleted. The rabbit hole involves checking GOPROXY settings, clearing the module cache, and verifying network access. The actual root cause is that \`go.sum\` tracks the cryptographic hashes of specific module versions to ensure supply-chain security. When a new transitive dependency is introduced, its hash must be recorded in \`go.sum\`. If it's missing, the build fails to protect against tampering. Running \`go mod tidy\` recalculates the exact dependencies needed and populates \`go.sum\` with the correct hashes.
