[bug\_fix] go: missing go.sum entry for module providing package ; to add it: go mod download

Run go mod tidy to automatically resolve the dependency graph, download missing modules, and update the go.sum file with their cryptographic hashes.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest changes from their version control system, which includes a new third-party package import in main.go. They run go build and encounter a missing go.sum entry error. Following the error's suggestion, they run go mod download, but the build still fails with the same error. They might try manually copying a hash from a colleague's go.sum or running go mod vendor, leading to further checksum mismatch errors. The root cause is that Go strictly uses go.sum to verify the integrity of downloaded modules. If a new dependency is introduced without updating go.sum, the build is blocked to prevent supply chain attacks. go mod download only downloads the module but doesn't update go.sum in all contexts. go mod tidy is the canonical command because it synchronizes the go.mod and go.sum files with the actual import state of the project.
