[bug\_fix] go: @: missing go.sum entry; to add it: go mod download

Run \`go mod tidy\` to synchronize the go.sum file with the module's dependencies, then commit the updated go.sum file to version control.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import or updates a dependency locally, and the code compiles fine. They push the code to CI, but the pipeline fails with 'missing go.sum entry'. They might try running \`go mod download\` as the error suggests, which caches the module locally but does not update the go.sum file in the source tree. The rabbit hole involves checking CI cache settings, Go proxy configurations, and network access. The root cause is that Go 1.16\+ changed the default behavior: \`go build\` no longer automatically modifies go.mod or go.sum. The go.sum file must contain the cryptographic checksums for all direct and indirect dependencies. The fix works because \`go mod tidy\` explicitly calculates the exact dependencies required by the current source code, adds their checksums to go.sum, and removes stale entries, ensuring the CI environment has the necessary verification data.
