[bug\_fix] go: ... module path mismatch

Update the module directive in the go.mod file to exactly match the repository path or the import path being used.

Journey Context:
A developer forks a repository or moves it to a different organization on GitHub. They update their local import paths but forget to update the module directive at the top of go.mod. When they run go build, they get a module path mismatch error. They might try replacing the module in go.mod using replace directives, which gets messy quickly. The root cause is that the Go module system requires the module path declared in go.mod to match the path by which the module is fetched. If the go.mod says module github.com/old/repo but it's being fetched from github.com/new/repo, the toolchain rejects it. The fix works because changing the module directive to github.com/new/repo aligns the module's internal identity with its external location, allowing the Go toolchain to correctly resolve and verify the module.
