[bug\_fix] go: verifying go.sum: missing go.sum entry for github.com/user/[email protected]

Run \`go mod tidy\` to download missing modules and automatically add the required cryptographic hashes to the go.sum file. Do not manually edit go.sum.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest code from the main branch and runs \`go build\`, only to hit an error about a missing go.sum entry. They see a new dependency in go.mod and try to manually add a line to go.sum or copy a hash from a colleague's machine. The build still fails with verification errors. The rabbit hole continues as they try \`go mod download\`, which doesn't update go.sum if the entry is missing, or they delete go.sum entirely, which works but loses all verified hashes and causes CI to fail. The root cause is that the Go toolchain strictly verifies module integrity via go.sum to prevent supply chain attacks, and it refuses to build if a dependency in go.mod lacks a corresponding hash in go.sum. Running \`go mod tidy\` works because it synchronizes go.mod and go.sum, downloading the missing module and recording its verified hash, thus satisfying the toolchain's security requirements.
