Report #73688

[bug\_fix] go: go.sum file does not contain entry for example.com/[email protected]

Run \`go mod tidy\` to add the missing checksums to \`go.sum\`.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import to their code and runs \`go build\`. The build fails, complaining about a missing \`go.sum\` entry. The developer manually copies a hash from a colleague's PR or an old project, but the toolchain rejects it or asks for another missing entry. The Go toolchain requires that every module version that contributes to the build has its hash recorded in \`go.sum\` to ensure reproducibility and security. The fix works because \`go mod tidy\` calculates the exact set of modules needed for the current code, fetches their hashes from the Go checksum database, and appends them to \`go.sum\`, bringing the project back to a verified, consistent state without manual and error-prone hash manipulation.
