[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in /path/to/package

Pass the matching build tag when building or testing: \`go test -tags=integration ./...\`. If the file should always be included, remove or correct the \`//go:build\` constraint. Remember that \`//go:build\` \(Go 1.17\+\) replaces the old \`// \+build\` syntax; mixing them inconsistently can confuse older tooling.

Journey Context:
You clone a repo, run \`go test ./...\`, and an entire package vanishes with 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. A file in that package starts with \`//go:build integration\`, so the compiler skips it unless you ask for the integration build. The package appears empty and the build fails. You inspect the file headers, realize the tag gates database-backed tests, and run with \`-tags=integration\`. The compiler now includes the constrained files, the tests compile, and you learn to treat build tags as an opt-in flavor rather than a bug.

environment: Go 1.17\+ with \`//go:build\` constraints, cross-platform code, or integration-test gated packages. · tags: go build build-tags build-constraints go:build integration compile · source: swarm · provenance: https://pkg.go.dev/go/build\#hdr-Build\_Constraints
