[bug\_fix] go: gitlab.corp.com/org/[email protected]: verifying go.mod: gitlab.corp.com/org/repo is not in GONOSUMDB or GONOSUMCHECK

Set the \`GOPRIVATE\` environment variable to match the private repository domain \(e.g., \`export GOPRIVATE=gitlab.corp.com/\*\`\). Root cause: By default, the \`go\` command verifies all modules against the public checksum database \(sum.golang.org\) and fetches via the public proxy \(proxy.golang.org\), which cannot access private repositories.

Journey Context:
A developer sets up a new CI job for an internal project. The build fails with a verification error for an internal private dependency. The developer can \`git clone\` the private repo fine using their SSH keys, so they know Git authentication works. They search the error message and discover that the Go toolchain routes all module fetches through proxy.golang.org by default. Since the proxy cannot access the private GitLab instance, it returns a 404, and the checksum database fails. The developer sets GOFLAGS=-insecure out of desperation, but it doesn't fix the sumdb check. They finally find the GOPRIVATE environment variable. Setting GOPRIVATE=gitlab.corp.com/\* tells the Go toolchain to bypass both the public proxy and the public checksum database for that domain, fetching directly via the configured VCS \(Git\), which succeeds.
