[bug\_fix] reading at revision vX.Y.Z: unknown revision vX.Y.Z

Push the git tag to the remote repository using \`git push origin vX.Y.Z\`. Ensure the tag strictly follows semantic versioning with a 'v' prefix \(e.g., \`v1.2.3\`\), and for major versions >= 2, ensure the tag matches the module path \(e.g., \`v2.0.0\` for a \`repo/v2\` module\).

Journey Context:
A developer finishes a feature in a shared library. They commit the code, tag it locally with \`git tag v1.2.3\`, and push the commit to GitHub. Another developer updates their \`go.mod\` to require \`v1.2.3\` and runs \`go mod tidy\`, but it fails with 'unknown revision'. The first developer checks GitHub and sees the commit is there, so they are baffled. They might try re-tagging or checking out the commit directly. The issue is that \`git push\` by default does not push local tags to the remote. The Go module system relies on the remote repository having the tag available to resolve the version. Without the tag on the remote, Go's HTTP fetcher cannot find the version. The fix is simply running \`git push --tags\` or \`git push origin v1.2.3\`. Another common variant is tagging a \`v2\` module path with a \`v1\` tag, which Go also rejects as an unknown revision for that path.
