[bug\_fix] go: missing go.sum entry for module providing package github.com/user/repo

Run \`go mod tidy\` to resolve the full dependency graph and populate \`go.sum\` with the cryptographic hashes of the newly added direct and indirect dependencies.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new third-party import to their \`main.go\` file and immediately runs \`go build\`. The compilation fails with a 'missing go.sum entry' error. The developer tries to manually run \`go get\` on the package, but the error persists or complains about checksums. They wonder why Go doesn't just fetch the dependency automatically during the build. The root cause is that \`go.sum\` acts as a lockfile and integrity verifier; Go refuses to build if a dependency's hash isn't explicitly recorded in \`go.sum\` to prevent supply chain attacks. Running \`go mod tidy\` resolves the dependency graph, downloads the missing modules, and securely appends their verified checksums to \`go.sum\`, allowing the build to proceed.
