[bug\_fix] go: missing go.sum entry for module providing package ...; to add it: go mod tidy

Run go mod tidy to recalculate dependencies and populate go.sum, or go mod download if the specific module is known.

Journey Context:
After pulling the latest changes from version control, a developer runs go build and encounters a missing go.sum entry error. Another developer added a new import, but forgot to commit the updated go.sum file. The developer tries manually adding a blank line to go.sum or running go build ./... which might seem to work but leaves the go.sum in a dirty state. The proper fix is to run go mod tidy. This command prunes unused dependencies and adds missing ones, calculating the cryptographic hashes for the exact versions used and writing them to go.sum. This ensures the go.sum file accurately reflects the module's dependency tree and maintains reproducible builds.
