Report #62219

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

Run 'go get ' or 'go mod tidy' to add the module providing the package to the go.mod requirements.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new third-party package import to their code, saves the file, and runs 'go build'. The build fails. The developer is confused because they thought Go automatically fetched dependencies. They check their internet connection and GOPATH. They realize that while older versions of Go \(pre-modules\) auto-fetched, modern Go requires dependencies to be explicitly listed in go.mod. Because they are using a modern Go version with modules, they must run 'go mod tidy' or 'go get' to resolve and record the new dependency in go.mod before building. This works because go mod tidy syncs the actual source imports with the module requirements.
