[bug\_fix] go: module github.com/foo/[email protected] found, but does not contain package github.com/foo/bar

Update the import path and go.mod requirement to include the major version suffix \(e.g., github.com/foo/bar/v2\).

Journey Context:
A developer runs go get github.com/foo/[email protected] to upgrade a dependency. The go.mod file records github.com/foo/bar v2.0.0 and the code imports github.com/foo/bar. The build fails, claiming the package doesn't exist, even though the repository is publicly accessible. The developer inspects the repository and sees the go.mod file still says module github.com/foo/bar without the /v2 suffix. According to Go's semantic import versioning rule, major versions 2 and above must be part of the module path to allow multiple major versions to coexist in the same build. The fix requires the consumer to change their imports to github.com/foo/bar/v2 and update go.mod accordingly, or the library author must fix their go.mod to module github.com/foo/bar/v2.
