[bug\_fix] verifying go.sum: checksum mismatch: github.com/example/[email protected]: h1:ABCD... \!= expected h1:XYZ...

Run \`go mod tidy\` and then \`go mod verify\`. If the mismatch persists, the module was likely tampered or the proxy returned a bad sum. Check if GONOSUMCHECK or GONOSUMDB is set for the module path. If using a private module, set \`GONOSUMCHECK=\*\` or \`GONOSUMDB=\*\` for that path. As a last resort, delete the module from the local cache \(\`go clean -modcache\`\) and re-download.

Journey Context:
A team member added a dependency from a new module version that was published to the Go proxy but the go.sum entry was manually edited during a merge conflict. The developer saw 'checksum mismatch' on every build. They spent time checking if the module author had re-pushed a different commit with the same tag. The actual root cause was that the go.sum file had been corrupted by a bad merge that replaced the correct hash with a hash from a different version. Running \`go mod tidy\` recalculated the correct sum and overwrote the bad entry. For private modules, the fix is to set GONOSUMCHECK to skip the checksum database entirely because the public checksum DB does not have the hash.
