[bug\_fix] go: module X found, but does not contain package Y

Update the import path in the Go source file to include the major version suffix \(e.g., \`/v2\`\) matching the module's \`go.mod\` declaration.

Journey Context:
A developer wants to use a popular library that recently released version 2.0.0. They run \`go get github.com/foo/bar\` which successfully fetches v2.0.0. However, when they import \`github.com/foo/bar\` in their code and run \`go build\`, the compiler claims the package doesn't exist within the module. The developer clears the module cache, checks their GOPATH, and inspects the downloaded module in \`$GOPATH/pkg/mod\`, seeing the code is physically there under a \`v2\` directory. The confusion stems from Go's Semantic Import Versioning rule: starting from v2, the major version must be suffixed to the module path to treat it as a distinct module. The fix works because adding \`/v2\` to the import path aligns the source code with the module's actual declared identity, allowing the compiler to resolve the package correctly.
