[bug\_fix] go: missing go.sum entry for module providing package github.com/some/pkg

Run go mod tidy to calculate the missing checksums and add them to the go.sum file.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import to their code and runs go build. The build fails with a missing go.sum entry. They try go build ./... or go run main.go, but it keeps failing. They wonder why the dependency isn't automatically resolved like it used to be. The root cause is a change in Go 1.16\+ where go.mod and go.sum are strictly maintained. When a new import is added, the go.mod is updated to list the dependency, but the cryptographic hash is not automatically added to go.sum during a simple build to prevent build-time network calls from modifying the lockfile unexpectedly. The toolchain requires an explicit command to synchronize the state. Running go mod tidy adds the missing hashes to go.sum, ensuring reproducible and verified builds.
