[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in

Ensure the package contains at least one file that matches the current build environment \(OS/Arch\), or fix the build tags \(e.g., remove \`//go:build ignore\` or change \`//go:build linux\` to match your target\).

Journey Context:
A developer clones a repository that uses CGO or platform-specific code, heavily utilizing //go:build tags. They try to build or test on their local macOS machine, but the compiler complains that all files in a package are excluded. They dig into the directory, seeing .go files present, but don't notice the build constraints at the top. They might try deleting files or renaming them, breaking cross-compilation. The root cause is that every single .go file in the package has a constraint like //go:build linux or //go:build ignore. The fix is to either build for the correct target using GOOS=linux go build, or add a stub file without build constraints \(or with the correct OS constraint\) so the package isn't empty on their development platform.
