[bug\_fix] go: verifying @: checksum mismatch

Clear the module cache using \`go clean -modcache\` and ensure \`GOPROXY\` is set to a valid proxy \(default is \`https://proxy.golang.org,direct\`\). Avoid \`GONOSUMDB\` or \`GOPROXY=direct\` for public packages.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new dependency or updates an existing one, and the build fails with a checksum mismatch. They try deleting the \`go.sum\` file and running \`go mod tidy\`, which temporarily works locally but fails in CI. The rabbit hole involves suspecting the registry is compromised or the dependency author re-published a different commit under the same tag. The real root cause is often a corrupted local cache \(due to a failed or interrupted download\) or using \`GOPROXY=direct\` which bypasses the checksum database, then later trying to verify against the public checksum database. Clearing the cache forces a fresh download from the proxy, which guarantees immutability and correct checksums, resolving the mismatch.
