Cause (Documented platform behavior): In readonly mode cmd/go requires all checksums needed to load/build packages to already be present in go.sum (mustHaveSums when BuildMod == readonly outside workspace mode).
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- missing go.sum entry needed to verify package
- missing go.sum entry
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/go/master/src/cmd/go/internal/modload/import.go (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): ImportMissingSumError produces 'missing go.sum entry for module providing package X' (or '...needed to verify package X is provided by exactly one module') with a hint '; to add: go get <importer>' or 'go mod download <mods>'; sums are mandatory when BuildMod is readonly outside workspace mode.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/website/master/_content/ref/mod.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): go mod tidy adds missing hashes and removes unnecessary hashes from go.sum.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Build fails listing a package with 'missing go.sum entry' and a hint to run 'go get <importer>' or 'go mod download <mod>'.
- Context
- Product: Go toolchain (cmd/go) Component: modload Operation: go build / go test / go vet in CI Affected versions: Go 1.16+ (readonly default) Environment: CI or any build using the default -mod=readonly Trigger: go.mod was changed (manually, by a bot, or merge) without updating go.sum, or go.sum was not committed.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Go modules] 'missing go.sum entry for module providing package <pkg>; to add: go mod download ...' in CI (-mod=readonly) after editing go.mod
Recommended action: Run `go mod tidy` (adds missing hashes, removes unnecessary ones) or the suggested `go get`/`go mod download` locally, commit go.sum, and rerun CI.
Option: Regenerate and commit go.sum [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Any missing go.sum entry
Steps:
1. go mod tidy (or run the exact 'to add:' command printed)
2. git add go.sum go.mod and commit
Expected: CI build proceeds
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
