[bug\_fix] go: updates to go.mod needed; to update it: go mod tidy

Run \`go mod tidy\` locally to update the go.mod and go.sum files, then commit and push the changes.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new third-party package to their source code and pushes the commit. The CI pipeline, which runs \`go test ./...\`, suddenly fails. Locally, the tests pass perfectly. The developer dives into the CI logs, suspecting a broken cache or a CI-specific environment variable. They try deleting the go.sum file locally, re-running tests, and pushing again, but CI still fails. They then notice the Go version in CI was upgraded to 1.16\+. The rabbit hole leads them to the Go 1.16 release notes, where they discover that \`go build\` and \`go test\` no longer implicitly modify go.mod or go.sum to prevent supply chain attacks and ensure reproducibility. The error occurs because the newly imported package isn't listed in go.mod, and the Go toolchain refuses to add it automatically in this context. The fix is to run \`go mod tidy\` locally, commit the updated go.mod and go.sum files, and push. This works because \`go mod tidy\` explicitly resolves the dependency graph and records the exact versions and checksums, satisfying the readonly constraint in CI.
