[bug\_fix] go: github.com/user/[email protected]: missing go.sum entry; to add it: go mod download github.com/user/repo

Run go mod tidy to synchronize the go.sum file with the imports and go.mod.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest code from version control and attempts to build the project. The build fails with 'missing go.sum entry' for a specific dependency. They check the go.mod and see the dependency listed. They check go.sum and notice it's completely missing the cryptographic hashes for this module. This often happens when a teammate manually edits go.mod to add a dependency or forgets to commit the updated go.sum file. The developer tries go build again, but Go refuses to proceed because the go.sum file is essential for verifying the integrity of downloaded modules. The developer runs go mod tidy, which analyzes the imports, downloads the missing module, calculates its hash, and appends it to go.sum. The build succeeds, and they make a note to always commit both go.mod and go.sum together.
