[bug\_fix] malformed module path "./"

Replace the relative import path \(e.g., \`import "./api"\`\) with the fully qualified module path defined in the project's \`go.mod\` file \(e.g., \`import "github.com/user/repo/api"\`\).

Journey Context:
A developer working in a monorepo or migrating an old GOPATH project tries to import a local sub-package using a relative path like \`import "./api"\`. The compiler immediately throws a 'malformed module path' error. Confused, they might try adding the subpackage to \`go.mod\` as a separate module or using \`replace\` directives to point to local paths, which only complicates things. The root cause is that Go modules strictly disallow relative import paths. The module system needs to resolve the entire dependency graph unambiguously, and relative paths break this resolution because they depend on where the code is checked out. The fix is to use the absolute module path declared in \`go.mod\`, which the toolchain can then resolve locally within the same module without network calls.
