[bug\_fix] go: import path github.com/user/repo does not match module path github.com/user/repo/v2
Update the import path in the Go source file to match the module path defined in the dependency's go.mod file. For major versions v2\+, the module path must include the major version suffix \(e.g., \`/v2\`\).
Journey Context:
A developer upgrades a dependency from v1.2.3 to v2.0.0 by running \`go get github.com/user/[email protected]\`. The go.mod file updates successfully, but the build fails with a module path mismatch. The developer is confused because the import path \`github.com/user/repo\` hasn't changed. The root cause is Go's semantic import versioning rule: for modules at major version v2 or higher, the module path must include the major version suffix \(e.g., \`github.com/user/repo/v2\`\). The developer must update all import statements in their code from \`github.com/user/repo\` to \`github.com/user/repo/v2\` to match the dependency's go.mod module directive.
