Report #73869
[bug\_fix] missing go.sum entry for module providing package ...
Run \`go mod tidy\` to add the missing checksums to the \`go.sum\` file, or run \`go get \` to explicitly fetch it.
Journey Context:
A developer adds a new import to their code or updates a dependency in \`go.mod\` manually, but forgets to update \`go.sum\`. When they attempt to build, the toolchain complains about a missing \`go.sum\` entry. The developer might try to manually edit \`go.sum\` or delete the entire file, which can lead to further issues. The \`go.sum\` file is critical for verifying the integrity of dependencies. The proper workflow is to use the Go toolchain to manage it. Running \`go mod tidy\` synchronizes the \`go.mod\` and \`go.sum\` files with the actual imports in the project, fetching any missing modules and calculating their hashes, thus populating the missing entries safely.
