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

Update all import paths to include the major version suffix \(e.g., github.com/foo/bar/v2\).

Journey Context:
A developer upgrades a dependency from v1.0.0 to v2.0.0 by simply changing the version string in go.mod. The build fails with 'does not contain package'. They clear the module cache, delete go.sum, and re-clone the repository, but the error persists. They check the dependency's GitHub repository and see the package is right there in the root. The rabbit hole leads them to think the Go module proxy is broken or the tag was created incorrectly. The actual root cause is Go's Import Compatibility Rule: if a module is v2 or higher, its module path MUST end with the major version suffix \(e.g., /v2\). The go.mod file in the v2.0.0 tag declares module github.com/foo/bar/v2, so the import path must match. The fix is to update all import statements in the codebase to append /v2, which tells the Go toolchain to correctly resolve the package within the v2 module.
