Proposed fix: [Go modules] 'verifying <mod>@<ver>: checksum mismatch ... SECURITY ERROR This download does NOT match an earlier download recorded in go.sum' — retagged/force-pushed version or tampered
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Treat it as a real integrity failure: find which side changed (moved tag, different proxy, private module accidentally checked against public sumdb). Do not blindly delete go.sum lines. For truly private modules, set GOPRIVATE/GONOSUMDB so they are not checked against the public sumdb; for a retagged dependency, move to a new version rather than reusing the tag.
Option: Exclude private modules from the public checksum DB [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Mismatch involves modules not publicly available
Steps:
1. Set GOPRIVATE=corp.example.com (or GONOSUMDB for finer control)
2. Re-run go mod download
Expected: Private modules are no longer verified against sum.golang.org
