[bug\_fix] missing go.sum entry for module
Run \`go mod tidy\` or \`go get @\` to download the module and populate the \`go.sum\` file with the correct cryptographic hashes.
Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest changes from version control and runs \`go build\`. The build fails with a missing go.sum entry error. They attempt to manually copy a hash from a colleague or a previous project, which leads to a checksum mismatch error. The root cause is that \`go.sum\` ensures the integrity and reproducibility of dependencies by storing the SHA-256 hashes of the module zip files and \`go.mod\` files. If a teammate added a dependency but forgot to commit the updated \`go.sum\`, or if the local \`go.sum\` is out of sync, the Go toolchain refuses to build unverified code. The fix is to run \`go mod tidy\`, which analyzes imports, adds missing dependencies, removes unused ones, and automatically downloads the missing modules to calculate and append the correct hashes to \`go.sum\`.
