[bug\_fix] go: verifying go.sum: [email protected]/go.mod: checksum mismatch

Clear the local module cache with go clean -modcache, then run go mod tidy. If the error persists, the upstream tag was overwritten; pin the dependency to a specific commit hash instead of the mutable version tag.

Journey Context:
A CI pipeline suddenly breaks overnight with a checksum mismatch error for a third-party dependency. The developer deletes the go.sum file and runs go mod tidy, but the go command still fails, complaining the downloaded hash doesn't match the sum database. The developer realizes the upstream maintainer force-pushed a commit to the existing v1.0.0 tag, altering its contents. The Go checksum database still holds the original hash, causing the mismatch. To resolve this, the developer clears the corrupted local cache and pins the dependency to a specific, unforgeable commit hash rather than the mutable tag, ensuring a reproducible build despite the upstream mistake.
