Report #47193

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

Ensure the target environment \(OS/Architecture\) matches the build tags, or add a file without constraints \(or with the correct constraints\) so that at least one file is included for the current build target.

Journey Context:
A developer is cross-compiling a Go application for Linux using \`GOOS=linux go build\`. The build fails with a constraint error. They look at the directory and see \`.go\` files are present, so they are confused why Go claims the directory is empty. They open the files and notice \`//go:build windows\` at the top of every single file in the package. Because they are building for Linux, all files in the package are excluded by the build constraints, leaving the package completely empty. Go requires every imported package to have at least one file that matches the current build target. The fix is to add a file with Linux-specific constraints \(or a file with no OS constraints\) that defines the package, or to fix the build command if it was mistakenly targeting the wrong OS.
