Report #47731

[bug\_fix] go: module example.com/new-name: go.mod indicates module example.com/old-name

Use a project-wide find-and-replace to update all import paths in .go files to match the new module name in go.mod.

Journey Context:
A developer decides to rename their GitHub repository from old-name to new-name. They update the module directive in go.mod to module example.com/new-name and push the code. The build immediately breaks. The Go compiler validates that the import paths in the source code match the module directive in go.mod. Because the developer only changed go.mod but left the internal imports as example.com/old-name/internal, the compiler sees them as external packages and tries to fetch them, failing because they don't exist remotely and don't match the local module. The fix is to synchronize the module path across the entire project by replacing all instances of the old module path with the new one in every .go file.
