Report #46644

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

Add a stub file with an opposing build constraint \(e.g., \`//go:build \!linux\`\) that provides a no-op implementation, ensuring at least one file is included in the build for all target environments.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a CLI tool that uses a package with OS-specific implementations, such as network sockets or system calls. The package has \`sock\_linux.go\` and \`sock\_darwin.go\`, but no Windows implementation. When they run \`go build\` on Windows, they get this error. They might initially think they just can't use the package on Windows, but the real issue is the Go compiler refuses to compile a package with zero files for a given target. The fix is to provide an empty stub file for unsupported platforms, which satisfies the compiler and allows the build to succeed.
