Report #52009

[bug\_fix] missing go.sum entry for module providing package ...

Run \`go mod tidy\` to synchronize the go.mod and go.sum files with the actual imports in the codebase, fetching any missing modules and recording their cryptographic checksums.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new third-party package import to their code, saves the file, and runs \`go build\`. The build fails, complaining about a missing go.sum entry. They try to manually add the hash to go.sum, which leads to format errors. They try \`go get\`, which updates go.mod but still leaves go.sum out of sync. The root cause is that Go's build system requires the go.sum file to contain the cryptographic hashes of all direct and indirect dependencies before building, to ensure supply chain security. The established workflow is to run \`go mod tidy\`, which scans all imports, adds missing modules to go.mod, removes unused ones, and perfectly reconciles the go.sum file.
