Report #36754

[bug\_fix] found packages \(pkgA\) and \(pkgB\) in /path/to/dir

Ensure all \`.go\` files in a single directory declare the exact same \`package\` name, or move files with different package names into separate directories. The root cause is a violation of Go's strict one-directory-one-package rule, often caused by a typo in a package declaration or accidentally placing a \`package main\` executable file in a library package directory.

Journey Context:
A developer adds a new utility file to an existing \`handlers\` package but accidentally types \`package handler\` \(singular\) at the top. They run \`go build\` and get the 'found packages' error. They search the directory for conflicting files, checking imports, but everything looks fine at first glance. They run \`grep -r 'package ' .\` and spot the typo in the new file. Correcting the package declaration to \`package handlers\` aligns it with the rest of the directory, resolving the compiler error.
