[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in ...

Enable CGO by setting \`CGO\_ENABLED=1\` and ensure a C compiler \(like gcc or musl-gcc\) is installed in the build environment, or switch to a pure-Go alternative for the dependency.

Journey Context:
A developer builds a web application locally that uses 'github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3', and it works perfectly. They push the code to a CI pipeline that uses a minimal Docker container \(like Alpine or Scratch\) and sets 'CGO\_ENABLED=0' to produce a static binary. The CI build fails with 'build constraints exclude all Go files in github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3'. The developer is baffled because the files exist in the repository. Inspecting the dependency's source reveals that all Go files have the 'import "C"' statement and an implicit 'cgo' build constraint. When CGO\_ENABLED=0, the Go toolchain skips all files requiring CGO, resulting in zero valid Go files for the package. The fix is to enable CGO and install the necessary C toolchain \(gcc/musl-dev\) in the CI container, or use a pure-Go SQLite implementation if a static binary is strictly required.
