[bug\_fix] missing go.sum entry for module providing package ...

Run \`go mod tidy\` or \`go get \`. Root cause: A new import was added to the source code, but the corresponding module and its dependencies were not recorded in the \`go.mod\` and \`go.sum\` files. The Go toolchain refuses to build because it cannot verify the integrity of the unrecorded dependency.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new third-party package to their \`main.go\` file and immediately runs \`go build\`. The compiler throws a \`missing go.sum entry\` error. The developer tries manually adding a fake hash to \`go.sum\`, which results in a checksum mismatch. They try \`go mod download\`, but it only downloads modules already in \`go.mod\`. Finally, they run \`go mod tidy\`, which analyzes the source code imports, adds the missing \`require\` directives to \`go.mod\`, downloads the modules, and populates \`go.sum\` with the correct cryptographic hashes from the checksum database.
