[bug\_fix] go: module path mismatch: ...

Update the module directive in go.mod to match the actual import path being used, or update all import statements to match the go.mod module path.

Journey Context:
A developer renames a repository on GitHub from old-repo to new-repo. They update their local directory name and pull the code. However, they forget to update the module line in go.mod, which still says module github.com/user/old-repo. When they try to build, they get a 'module path mismatch' error. They search for all occurrences of old-repo in their code and realize the go.mod module path is the root cause. The fix works because the Go toolchain strictly validates that the module directive matches the import paths used by dependent packages; aligning them resolves the ambiguity.
