[bug\_fix] go: verifying go.sum: ...: missing go.sum entry; to add it: go mod tidy

Run go mod tidy or go get to update go.sum with the correct checksums, then commit the updated go.sum.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest code from version control, which added a new dependency, but the developer forgot to pull the updated go.sum file, or a teammate manually edited go.mod without running go mod tidy. When the developer runs go build, the build fails with a verification error. They might try deleting go.sum entirely, which causes other issues, or manually pasting hashes. The root cause is that Go's module checksum database \(and the go.sum file\) requires an exact cryptographic hash for every dependency to ensure supply chain security. If a dependency is in go.mod but lacks a corresponding hash in go.sum, the build is blocked. Running go mod tidy works because it calculates the exact dependencies needed, fetches their hashes from the checksum database, and populates go.sum correctly.
