Report #52723
[bug\_fix] verifying go.mod: ... go.sum: missing
Run \`go mod tidy\` to download missing modules and populate the \`go.sum\` file with the correct cryptographic hashes.
Journey Context:
A developer manually adds a new dependency to their \`go.mod\` file or pulls a branch that added a dependency without committing the updated \`go.sum\`. When they run \`go build\`, the compiler refuses to compile, complaining about a missing entry in \`go.sum\`. The developer might try deleting \`go.sum\`, which only leads to more missing entry errors. The root cause is that the Go toolchain verifies the integrity of every dependency against \`go.sum\` to ensure reproducible and secure builds. Running \`go mod tidy\` resolves this by fetching the missing modules, calculating their hashes, and appending the correct entries to \`go.sum\`.
