[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files

Add a Go file without OS/architecture-specific build constraints \(e.g., \`file.go\`\) or a file with constraints matching the target OS/architecture \(e.g., \`file\_darwin.go\`\) to the package. If using CGO, ensure \`CGO\_ENABLED=1\` is set.

Journey Context:
A developer creates a new package and puts all their code in a file named \`utils\_linux.go\` using a \`//go:build linux\` constraint. When they try to build or test on their macOS machine, the Go compiler throws an error that build constraints exclude all files. The developer is confused because the code looks syntactically correct. The issue is that for a package to compile on a given platform, at least one \`.go\` file in the package must be included by the build constraints. They fix it by renaming the file to \`utils.go\` \(removing the constraint\) or by creating a separate \`utils\_darwin.go\` with stubs/implementations for macOS.
