Why Does My VS Code Go Extension Fail to Load After a `go.mod` Update, and How Can I Prevent It?

VS Code Go Extension Encounters Difficulty Loading Due to Go.mod Update Issue

Despite encountering a question regarding go.mod updates and subsequent errors encountered with the Go extension in VS Code, the aforementioned thread (Go updates to go.mod needed, disabled by -mod=readonly : packages.Load error) remained unanswered. As such, this inquiry will be reposted to shed light on the matter.

Utilizing Go version 1.15.7, an attempt was made to load a Go project containing a go.mod file. However, VS Code displayed a notification containing the following error message:

Error loading workspace: err: exit status 1: stderr: go: updates to go.mod needed, disabled by -mod=readonly : packages.Load error

An accompanying image depicted the error notification received.

Initial troubleshooting efforts involved examining the file permissions for the go.mod file. The command "chmod a w go.mod" was executed to grant full write permissions, but the error persisted.

In a serendipitous turn of events, executing the command "go mod tidy" manually seemed to resolve the issue. While the extension appears to be functional, the underlying cause remains unclear. Any insights into the origin of this behavior would be greatly appreciated, as they may prevent future occurrences of this error.
