[bug\_fix] go: ...@...: reading ...: unknown revision ... or invalid version: unknown revision ...

Ensure the version tag exists in the remote repository and is pushed. If using a private module, ensure GOPRIVATE is set correctly to bypass the public proxy, which might not have the tag yet.

Journey Context:
A developer creates a new private module, tags it v1.0.0, and pushes it to their internal Git server. They then try to use it in another project with go get internal.example.com/[email protected]. The command fails with unknown revision. The developer verifies the tag exists in the Git UI. The issue is that by default, Go uses the public proxy \(proxy.golang.org\). The public proxy doesn't have access to the internal repository, so it returns a 404/410, which Go translates to unknown revision. The developer sets the GOPRIVATE environment variable to internal.example.com/\*, telling Go to fetch directly from the internal VCS instead of the public proxy. The build succeeds because Go now bypasses the proxy and queries the internal Git server directly, finding the tag.
