[bug\_fix] go: malformed module path "github.com/User/Repo": case-insensitive import collision

Ensure the import path in \`go.mod\` and all \`import\` statements exactly matches the module path declared in the dependency's \`go.mod\`, paying strict attention to case.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import \`github.com/MyOrg/MyRepo\` to their code. The build fails with a case collision or path mismatch error. Confused, they check GitHub and the URL seems correct. However, Go module paths are case-sensitive and must exactly match the \`module\` directive in the dependency's \`go.mod\` file. The dependency's \`go.mod\` declares \`module github.com/myorg/myrepo\` \(all lowercase\). Because the developer used uppercase \`MyOrg\`, Go treats it as a completely different module, leading to a mismatch or collision. The developer updates all import statements and the \`require\` block in \`go.mod\` to use the exact lowercase path declared by the dependency, and the build succeeds.
