[bug\_fix] go: malformed module path "github.com/User/Repo": invalid char 'U'

Change the module path in the go.mod file to use all lowercase letters \(e.g., 'github.com/user/repo'\).

Journey Context:
A developer initializes a new module inside a GitHub repository that has uppercase letters in its name using 'go mod init github.com/User/Repo'. Everything seems fine locally until they push the code or try to use it as a dependency in another project. The Go toolchain rejects the module path. They dig into the module specification and find that Go module paths must be strictly lowercase. This rule exists to prevent ambiguity on case-insensitive file systems \(like Windows and macOS\), where 'Repo' and 'repo' would resolve to the same directory, potentially causing severe caching and dependency resolution bugs. Changing the go.mod module path to lowercase fixes the issue.
