Research direction

Start with the Contract deployment tutorial and reproduce the commands from asset-transfer-basic/chaincode-go, including go mod vendor, go build, and peer lifecycle chaincode package. Inspect the ff deploy fabric entry point and the Docker-based peer lifecycle install that reports the protobuf build error; done means the sample chaincode installs successfully without the 500 error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The error occurs when executing the implantation process described in: Contract deployment.
