Report #72110

[bug\_fix] package contex is not in GOROOT \(/usr/local/go/src/contex\)

Correct the typo in the import path \(e.g., change \`contex\` to \`context\`\). If it is a third-party package that isn't in GOROOT, ensure you have initialized a Go module \(\`go mod init\`\) and fetched it.

Journey Context:
A developer refactors some code and suddenly the application won't compile, complaining that a package is not in GOROOT. They panic, thinking their Go installation is corrupted. They reinstall Go, but the error persists. The rabbit hole: they check their \`GOPATH\` and \`GOROOT\` environment variables, which look fine. They search the error online and find people with corrupted installations. Finally, they look closely at the import block and realize they made a typo—\`contex\` instead of \`context\`. Because Go looks for \`contex\` in the standard library first and fails, it throws the GOROOT error instead of a 'cannot find module' error. The fix works because correcting the typo allows the Go toolchain to resolve the standard library package correctly.
