Report #1687

[bug\_fix] undefined: syscall.SIGUSR1 when compiling for windows

Add the correct GOOS-specific suffix and build tag to the file, e.g., rename to signal\_unix.go with //go:build \!windows at the top, and create a signal\_windows.go counterpart. Root cause: build constraints tell the go command which files to compile for which target OS/architecture; using Unix-only APIs in a file compiled for Windows causes undefined symbol errors.

Journey Context:
An agent added signal handling for graceful shutdown using syscall.SIGUSR1 and syscall.SIGUSR2. It worked on macOS and Linux CI but Windows builds failed with undefined symbol. The agent first tried adding //go:build \!windows to the existing file but put it below the package clause, so it was ignored. After re-reading the build constraint rules, the agent renamed the file to signal\_unix.go with a proper build tag above the package clause and added signal\_windows.go that ignored those signals. Windows builds then passed. The fix works because build tags and filename suffixes exclude OS-specific code from incompatible targets while still including it where valid.
