[bug\_fix] go: module ... found, but does not contain package ...

Append the major version suffix \(e.g., \`/v2\`\) to both the \`require\` directive in \`go.mod\` and all import statements in the \`.go\` source files.

Journey Context:
A developer wants to update a dependency from v1 to v2. They run \`go get github.com/foo/[email protected]\`. The \`go.mod\` file updates to \`require github.com/foo/bar v2.0.0\`. However, their code still imports \`github.com/foo/bar\`. The build fails with 'module found, but does not contain package'. The developer is baffled because \`go get\` succeeded and the repository clearly exists. They explore the dependency's GitHub repo, wondering if the package structure changed. The root cause is Go's Semantic Import Versioning rule: for modules at version v2 or higher, the major version \*must\* be part of the module path. If the import path lacks \`/v2\`, the Go toolchain looks for a v0/v1 module, or looks in the wrong namespace within the v2 module, finding nothing. Updating the import statements to \`github.com/foo/bar/v2\` fixes it because it aligns the import path with the module's declared identity, allowing the toolchain to resolve the correct package directory within the v2 module.
