[bug\_fix] go: github.com/user/[email protected]: go.mod has post-v0 module path "github.com/user/repo/v2"

Update all import paths in the code to include the /v2 suffix \(e.g., import "github.com/user/repo/v2"\) and run go mod tidy.

Journey Context:
A developer tries to upgrade a dependency to its new major version by running go get github.com/user/[email protected]. The command appears to download the module, but subsequent builds fail with a post-v0 module path error. The developer might try deleting the go.sum file, running go mod clean, or even downgrading back to v1, confused as to why the downloaded module is rejected. The root cause is Go's Semantic Import Versioning rule: if a module is version v2 or higher, the major version must be explicitly included in the module path both in its own go.mod and in any code that imports it. The go get command downloaded the v2.0.0 tag, but because the developer didn't specify the /v2 suffix in the go get path, the Go toolchain detected a mismatch between the requested path and the module's internal go.mod declaration. The fix is to update the import statements in the source code to append /v2, which aligns the import path with the module's canonical identity, and then run go mod tidy to update go.mod and go.sum.
