[bug\_fix] go: github.com/example/[email protected]: verifying module: missing go.sum entry

Run go mod tidy to download the module and add the missing checksum to go.sum. If working in a clean environment without internet access to the checksum database, ensure GONOSUMCHECK or GOFLAGS=-insecure is not accidentally set, or set GONOSUMCHECK correctly for private modules.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repository and runs go build. The build fails with a missing checksum error. They assume the go.sum file in the repository is corrupt or out of date, so they delete it and run go build again, which still fails. They try go mod tidy, which downloads the missing module and successfully populates go.sum. However, in CI, the same error occurs. The CI pipeline is configured with GOPROXY=direct to bypass the corporate proxy for internal modules, but this also bypasses the checksum database. The root cause is that when GOPROXY=direct is used, Go still tries to verify against the checksum database unless GONOSUMCHECK is set. The fix is to set GONOSUMCHECK to the internal module path pattern \(e.g., github.com/mycompany/\*\) so Go skips the checksum database for private modules while keeping it active for public ones.
