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

Ensure there is at least one Go file in the package without build constraints \(or with constraints that match the target OS/Architecture\), or fix the boolean logic in //go:build directives \(e.g., changing 'linux && windows' to 'linux \|\| windows'\).

Journey Context:
A developer is splitting a package into OS-specific files using //go:build linux and //go:build windows. They run go build on macOS and get 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. They are confused because they didn't even want this package on macOS, but it's imported by a cross-platform main package. They realize they forgot to provide a default implementation for other OSes. Alternatively, they upgrade to Go 1.17\+ and use the new //go:build syntax but accidentally write //go:build linux && windows \(which is impossible\) instead of //go:build linux \|\| windows. The compiler evaluates the constraint, finds zero files match the current environment, and fails. The fix is to correct the constraint logic or add a stub file with no constraints.

environment: Go 1.17\+ \(for //go:build syntax\), cross-platform projects · tags: go-build constraints os-architecture conditional-compilation · source: swarm · provenance: https://go.dev/cmd/go\#hdr-Build\_constraints
