[bug\_fix] go: module github.com/example/project found, but does not contain package github.com/example/project

Update the import path in the Go source file to include the major version suffix \(e.g., github.com/example/project/v2\), matching the module path defined in the dependency's go.mod file, then run go mod tidy.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a dependency using go get github.com/example/[email protected]. The go.mod updates successfully, but go build fails with this error. They check go.mod and see github.com/example/project v2.0.0 listed. They might try deleting the go.sum or running go mod download, but the error persists. The root cause is Go's Semantic Import Versioning rule: if a module is v2 or higher, its module path must end with the major version \(e.g., /v2\). The developer's code is importing the v1 path, but the downloaded module's go.mod declares itself as github.com/example/project/v2. The Go toolchain sees the import github.com/example/project, looks in the downloaded module, and finds that the packages belong to github.com/example/project/v2, resulting in a mismatch. Changing the import in the source code to append /v2 resolves the discrepancy.
