[bug\_fix] go: github.com/foo/[email protected]: module path mismatch: github.com/foo/bar/v2 \!= github.com/foo/bar

Update the import paths in your Go source code to include the major version suffix \(e.g., import 'github.com/foo/bar/v2'\) and ensure the require directive in go.mod also uses the '/v2' suffix.

Journey Context:
A developer tries to upgrade a dependency from v1 to v2 by changing the version in go.mod to 'v2.0.0'. The build immediately crashes with a module path mismatch error. They are confused because v2.0.0 exists in the repository. They read the Go modules documentation and discover Semantic Import Versioning \(SIV\). In Go, a module's major version is part of its identity. If a module is v2 or higher, its module path in go.mod must end with '/v2', and all consumer import paths must also include '/v2'. This treats v2 as an entirely distinct module from v1. They update all their import statements from 'github.com/foo/bar' to 'github.com/foo/bar/v2', and 'go mod tidy' resolves cleanly.
