[bug\_fix] missing go.sum entry for module providing package

Run go mod tidy to calculate the exact dependencies required and populate the go.sum file with the cryptographic hashes of the downloaded modules.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repository and runs go build. It fails with a missing go.sum entry error. They check the repo and see that go.sum is missing or was accidentally .gitignored. Alternatively, they added a new import in their code but forgot to run go get or go mod tidy. The Go toolchain refuses to build because go.sum acts as a lockfile and integrity checker; without the expected hashes, it cannot verify the dependencies haven't been tampered with. The developer runs go mod tidy, which resolves all imports, downloads missing modules, and populates go.sum with the SHA-256 hashes. The build then succeeds.
