[bug\_fix] missing go.sum entry for module providing package ...

Run go mod tidy to synchronize the go.sum file with the module's actual dependencies, or run go get specifically for the missing package.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls the latest changes from their version control system, which includes a newly added import in a source file. They run go build or go test and immediately hit an error about a missing go.sum entry. They try to run the build again, but it keeps failing. The developer might try manually pasting a hash into go.sum, which results in a format or checksum error. The root cause is that go.sum acts as a cryptographic lockfile. When code imports a new package, the go.mod and go.sum must be updated to reflect the required module and its hash. Simply adding the import in code does not automatically update these files. The fix is to run go mod tidy, which scans all source code for imports, fetches the necessary modules, calculates their hashes, and safely appends the correct entries to go.sum.
