Report #15992

[bug\_fix] cannot find module providing package

Run \`go mod tidy\` or \`go get \` to add the missing module to go.mod. The root cause is that the import path is present in the source code, but the corresponding module dependency is missing from the go.mod file.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a legacy repository and attempts to build it with \`go build\`. It fails with a missing module error. They check go.mod and notice the dependency is missing. A teammate had previously removed it from go.mod during a cleanup but forgot to remove the import from the source code, or the go.mod was accidentally truncated. They run \`go mod tidy\`, which analyzes the AST, finds the missing import, resolves the correct version, adds it to go.mod and go.sum, and downloads it. The build succeeds because the module's dependency graph is now consistent with its source code imports.
