Report #36952

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

Run \`go mod tidy\` to download missing modules and record their cryptographic hashes in \`go.sum\`, then commit the updated file to version control.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest changes from version control and runs \`go build\`, only to be blocked by a checksum verification error. They notice a coworker added a new dependency but forgot to commit the updated \`go.sum\`. The developer tries \`go build ./...\` hoping it bypasses the check, but it fails. They might try manually editing \`go.sum\` or deleting it entirely, which might work locally but breaks CI due to strict checksum validation. The Go toolchain requires \`go.sum\` to contain the hashes of all direct and indirect dependencies to ensure supply chain security and reproducibility. The fix works because \`go mod tidy\` calculates the exact required dependencies, downloads them, verifies them against the global checksum database, and populates \`go.sum\` with the correct hashes, satisfying the toolchain's strict verification requirements.
