[bug\_fix] ambiguous import: found package example.com/a/x in multiple modules

Ensure only one module in the build list provides the package. In a monorepo carve-out, make the parent module require the new child module at the version where the package was removed, or add a local \`replace\` directive while testing. Run \`go list -m all\` to confirm which modules claim the same prefix.

Journey Context:
We split \`example.com/platform/auth\` out of \`example.com/platform\` into its own module. Suddenly importing \`example.com/platform/auth/jwt\` failed with \`ambiguous import: found package example.com/platform/auth in multiple modules\`. Both the old parent module and the new child module declared the same prefix. I used \`go list -m all\` to see both modules active, then added \`require example.com/platform/auth v0.1.0\` to the parent's \`go.mod\` and tagged \`platform/v1.3.0\` plus \`auth/v0.1.0\`. After that the go command resolved the longest module path unambiguously and the import worked.
