[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files

Ensure at least one file in the package has no build constraints or has constraints that match the target OS/architecture. Add a default implementation file \(e.g., \`feature.go\`\) without \`//go:build\` tags.

Journey Context:
A developer is implementing OS-specific logic and creates \`conn\_linux.go\` and \`conn\_windows.go\`, each with \`//go:build linux\` and \`//go:build windows\` respectively. When they run \`go build\` on their macOS machine, the compiler throws 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. They initially think their Go installation is broken or the build tags are syntactically invalid. They try running \`go env\` and checking GOOS, which is set to 'darwin'. The root cause is that the build system evaluates the tags and finds zero files eligible for compilation on macOS, resulting in an empty package, which is illegal. The fix is to provide an implementation for macOS \(\`conn\_darwin.go\`\) or a stub/default implementation in a file without build tags \(\`conn.go\`\). They add a \`conn.go\` with a fallback, and the build succeeds.
