[bug\_fix] verifying go.sum: @: missing checksum

Run \`go mod tidy\` to populate \`go.sum\` with the missing cryptographic checksums for the required dependencies. The root cause is that \`go.mod\` specifies a dependency, but \`go.sum\` does not contain its hash, so the Go toolchain refuses to download it to prevent supply chain attacks.

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repository, runs \`go build\`, and immediately hits a 'missing checksum' error. They might try deleting \`go.sum\` and running \`go build\` again, which works locally. However, when they push to CI, the pipeline fails because CI validates \`go.sum\` consistency. The developer goes down a rabbit hole checking network proxies and CI caches. The actual issue is that a teammate added a new dependency to \`go.mod\` but forgot to commit the updated \`go.sum\`. The \`go.sum\` file is critical for reproducibility and security; it stores the expected SHA-256 hashes of module zip files. If a dependency is required but its hash is missing, the toolchain blocks the build. \`go mod tidy\` safely recalculates and appends the missing hashes.
