[bug\_fix] go: [email protected]: go.mod has non-... module path ... at revision ...

The dependency maintainer must update their go.mod to include the major version suffix \(e.g., module github.com/foo/bar/v2\). Consumers can temporarily use a replace directive if they cannot modify the dependency.

Journey Context:
A developer tries to upgrade a dependency to its new major version by running go get github.com/foo/bar/[email protected]. The command fails, complaining that the go.mod file has a non-matching module path. The developer inspects the dependency's go.mod and sees module github.com/foo/bar \(missing the /v2\). The rabbit hole involves trying to alias or manually editing go.sum, which just leads to more errors. The root cause is the Go Module Compatibility Rule: if a module is version 2.0.0 or higher, its module path MUST end with the major version suffix. Without it, the Go toolchain treats the v2.0.0 tag as an invalid version of the v0/v1 module. The proper fix is for the dependency maintainer to fix their go.mod and re-tag. If the developer is stuck, they can use a replace directive in their own go.mod to map the /v2 path to the specific commit hash.
