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 ' or 'go mod download '; 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.
