   To obtain the actual hash, set `vendorHash = lib.fakeHash;` and run the build ([more details here](#sec-source-hashes)).
 - `proxyVendor`: Fetches (go mod download) and proxies the vendor directory. This is useful if your code depends on c code and go mod tidy does not include the needed sources to build or if any dependency has case-insensitive conflicts which will produce platform-dependent `vendorHash` checksums.
