[bug\_fix] go: @: invalid version: unknown revision

Use the full commit hash with go get @ to generate a proper pseudo-version, or if a newly pushed tag is not found, set GOPROXY=direct to bypass the proxy cache.

Journey Context:
A developer tries to pull a specific commit from a dependency using go get github.com/foo/bar@abc1234. Go rejects it with 'invalid version: unknown revision'. The developer knows the commit exists because they can see it on GitHub. The problem is that Go modules require versions to be semantically versioned \(e.g., v1.2.3\) or pseudo-versioned \(e.g., v0.0.0-20210101000000-abc1234def56\). Short commit hashes are not valid module versions. When passing a full commit hash to go get, Go automatically converts it into a pseudo-version. If using a short hash, Go fails to resolve it. Alternatively, if the developer is trying to fetch a tag pushed less than a minute ago, the default Go module proxy hasn't cached it yet and returns 'unknown revision'. Using GOPROXY=direct bypasses the proxy and fetches the tag directly from the source, making it immediately available.
