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

Provide a default implementation file without OS/arch-specific build constraints, or ensure the build environment matches the intended constraints.

Journey Context:
A developer is writing cross-platform code and creates \`network\_linux.go\` and \`network\_windows.go\` with \`//go:build linux\` and \`//go:build windows\` tags respectively. They run \`go build\` on their macOS machine. The compiler throws the 'build constraints exclude all Go files' error, failing because both files are excluded on darwin, leaving the package empty. The developer initially thinks they need to add \`//go:build darwin\` to one of them, but that would duplicate logic. The correct fix is to create a \`network\_default.go\` \(or \`network.go\`\) without build constraints that provides a fallback or stub implementation for unhandled OSes. This works because the Go build system will fall back to files without constraints when no specific constraint matches the target environment.
