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

Run 'go mod tidy' to synchronize go.mod and go.sum by calculating the exact transitive dependencies and downloading their checksums.

Journey Context:
A developer manually edits their go.mod file to bump a dependency version or adds a new require line, then runs 'go build'. The build fails with 'missing go.sum entry'. They try to manually add a line to go.sum, but get a hash mismatch. They try 'go mod download', but it still complains about the missing entry. The rabbit hole often leads to deleting go.sum entirely, which just shifts the error to other missing entries. The root cause is that go.sum must contain the cryptographic hashes of all direct and indirect dependencies, and manually editing go.mod bypasses the toolchain's hash calculation step. The fix works because 'go mod tidy' resolves the entire dependency graph, fetches missing modules, computes their hashes, and writes the correct entries into go.sum, ensuring the build is reproducible and secure.
