[bug\_fix] go: github.com/example/[email protected]: verifying module: checksum mismatch sum=h1:abc... in go.sum h1:def... from download

Run go mod tidy so Go recomputes the expected checksums. If the mismatch persists and you suspect a corrupted module cache or proxy, run go clean -modcache followed by go mod download, then commit the regenerated go.sum.

Journey Context:
A teammate added a dependency and pushed go.sum. On your machine go build fails with a checksum mismatch. You initially think the dependency was compromised because the hashes differ. You check the CI logs and see a different hash, then realize your local module cache has a stale tarball from an earlier tag that was force-pushed, or your corporate proxy rewrote the module. You learn that go.sum is a trust-on-first-use lockfile, not an allowlist, so stale entries can drift. You delete the module cache, let Go redownload clean archives from the proxy or VCS, run go mod tidy, and the build succeeds. You commit the corrected go.sum so the team stays in sync.

environment: Go modules enabled, go.sum checked into version control, multiple developers or CI downloading the same dependency. · tags: go-modules go.sum checksum mismatch module-cache tidy · source: swarm · provenance: https://go.dev/ref/mod\#go-sum-files
