Report #3586

[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in /home/dev/project/internal/platform

Add or correct \`//go:build\` lines so at least one file matches the current GOOS/GOARCH, or run the build/test for the intended target \(e.g., \`GOOS=windows go test ./...\`\). If the package is meant to be portable, provide a default implementation file without an exclusive platform tag.

Journey Context:
An agent checks out a cross-platform library on a Linux workstation and runs \`go test ./...\`. One package contains only \`sysctl\_darwin.go\` and \`registry\_windows.go\`; the compiler reports that build constraints exclude every file. The agent first thinks the package is empty, then notices the \`//go:build darwin\` and \`//go:build windows\` tags at the top of each file. Because the current build context is \`linux/amd64\`, no file participates in the package. They create a \`sysctl\_linux.go\` stub that satisfies the package's internal interface, and the tests pass. The lesson is that build tags silently remove files from compilation, so a package must have at least one file that matches the active context or be built on the matching platform.
