[bug\_fix] ambiguous import: found in multiple modules

Update the \`module\` directive in the \`go.mod\` file of the major version branch \(e.g., v2\+\) to include the major version suffix \(e.g., \`module github.com/user/repo/v2\`\), and update all internal imports to match.

Journey Context:
A developer is ready to release breaking changes for their library. They create a \`v2\` branch, tag it as \`v2.0.0\`, and push it. A consumer updates their project with \`go get github.com/user/[email protected]\`. The build fails with 'ambiguous import: found github.com/user/repo in multiple modules'. The developer is confused because they thought Go handled major versions via tags. They try \`replace\` directives and clearing the cache. The root cause is that Go's minimal version selection requires different major versions to have distinct module paths. Since the \`go.mod\` in the \`v2.0.0\` tag still says \`module github.com/user/repo\`, the Go toolchain sees two different modules \(v1.0.0 and v2.0.0\) claiming the exact same module path and providing the same packages. The fix is to follow the 'Import Compatibility Rule': update the \`go.mod\` in the v2 branch to \`module github.com/user/repo/v2\`, update all internal \`import\` statements to include the \`/v2\` suffix, and release a new tag like \`v2.0.1\`.
