[bug\_fix] go: malformed module path "example.com/foo": missing .../v2 at end

Update the go.mod file of the dependency to include the major version in the module path \(e.g., \`module example.com/foo/v2\`\), and ensure all internal imports within that dependency use the \`/v2\` suffix.

Journey Context:
A developer tries to upgrade a dependency to its new major version by running \`go get example.com/[email protected]\`. The command fails complaining about a malformed module path. They try appending \`/v2\` to the \`go get\` command, but it still fails. They dig into the upstream repository and discover the maintainer tagged \`v2.0.0\` but left the \`go.mod\` file as \`module example.com/foo\`. Go's semantic import versioning strictly requires modules at major version 2 or higher to include the version in their module path. Since the upstream \`go.mod\` is incorrect, the Go toolchain refuses to resolve it. The developer is forced to fork the repository, fix the \`go.mod\` to \`module example.com/foo/v2\`, update all internal imports, and use a \`replace\` directive until the upstream maintainer fixes it.
