[bug\_fix] go: verifying github.com/vendor/[email protected]/go.mod: checksum mismatch

Delete the specific offending lines from \`go.sum\` and run \`go mod tidy\` to re-fetch the correct checksum. If the error persists, the dependency author may have force-pushed the tag, requiring an upgrade to a newer version or a \`replace\` directive.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest code from version control and runs \`go build\`, only to be hit with a checksum mismatch for a specific dependency. They might try deleting the entire \`go.sum\` file and regenerating it, which is risky as it bypasses verification for all other dependencies and can hide supply chain attacks. The actual root cause is usually a corrupted local module cache, a proxy serving a stale/corrupted file, or a dependency author who force-pushed a new commit to an existing version tag \(violating Go's immutability rules\). The established fix is to surgically remove only the offending module's entries from \`go.sum\` and let \`go mod tidy\` re-verify against the Go checksum database. If the database also rejects it, the tag is permanently tainted and the dependency must be updated.
