[bug\_fix] go: cannot find module providing package ...

Run \`go mod tidy\` or \`go get \` to add the missing dependency to \`go.mod\` and \`go.sum\`.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new third-party library import to their code \(e.g., \`github.com/gin-gonic/gin\`\) and immediately runs \`go build\`. The build fails, stating it cannot find the module providing the package. The developer might try manually typing the \`require\` block in \`go.mod\`, but the build still fails or complains about missing \`go.sum\` entries. The root cause is that Go's module-aware build system requires dependencies to be explicitly declared in \`go.mod\` and verified in \`go.sum\` before compilation. Manually editing \`go.mod\` often misses the indirect dependencies or \`go.sum\` hashes. The fix works because \`go mod tidy\` \(or \`go get\`\) analyzes the source code's import graph, fetches the missing modules, calculates the dependency tree, and automatically updates both \`go.mod\` and \`go.sum\` with the correct versions and checksums.
