[bug\_fix] malformed module path "github.com/User/Repo": invalid char 'U'

Change the \`module\` directive in \`go.mod\` to use all lowercase letters \(e.g., \`module github.com/user/repo\`\) and update all import paths accordingly.

Journey Context:
A developer creates a new GitHub repository named \`MyApp\` and initializes it locally with \`go mod init github.com/MyName/MyApp\`. The code compiles perfectly on their machine. However, when another team member tries to clone and build, or when they try to import it in a different project, the compiler throws a malformed module path error. The developer tries to escape the characters or use URL encoding, but Go strictly rejects it. The root cause is that Go module paths must adhere to the path syntax defined in the module specification, which disallows uppercase letters to ensure case-insensitive filesystem compatibility across operating systems. The fix is to strictly use lowercase paths.
