[bug\_fix] go: verifying [email protected]: checksum mismatch

Run \`go clean -modcache\` to clear the corrupted local cache, then \`go mod tidy\` to re-download. Root cause: The local module cache contains a version of the dependency whose cryptographic hash does not match the hash recorded in \`go.sum\` or the public Go Checksum Database \(sum.golang.org\). This often happens if a dependency was fetched via a proxy that served a different version, or if the upstream author force-pushed a tag.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest main branch and runs \`go build\`, only to be blocked by a checksum mismatch. Assuming \`go.sum\` is simply out of date, they delete the \`go.sum\` file and run \`go mod tidy\`, which succeeds locally. However, when they push, CI fails with the same checksum error. The CI runner is fetching from the global proxy, which recorded the original hash. The developer realizes the local cache was corrupted or the upstream tag was mutated. They run \`go clean -modcache\` to wipe the local cache, restore the original \`go.sum\` from version control, and run \`go mod tidy\`. This forces a pristine download from the proxy, aligning the hashes and fixing the build.
