[bug\_fix] go: cannot find module providing package github.com/some/dependency

Run \`go mod tidy\` to automatically add missing module requirements to \`go.mod\` and remove unused ones, then \`go mod download\` if necessary.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import statement \`import "github.com/some/dependency"\` to their Go file and immediately runs \`go build\`. The build fails, complaining it cannot find the module providing the package. The developer checks their \`go.mod\` file and sees the dependency is missing. They might try manually typing the \`require\` block, which leads to checksum errors. The root cause is that the Go module system requires the toolchain to manage the \`go.mod\` and \`go.sum\` files. Simply adding an import does not automatically fetch the dependency. Running \`go mod tidy\` analyzes the source code, resolves all imports, adds the missing \`require\` directives to \`go.mod\`, generates the corresponding hashes in \`go.sum\`, and downloads the modules.
