Report #58055

[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in /path/to/pkg

Add a stub file for the missing build constraint \(e.g., //go:build \!linux\) to provide default implementations, or fix the typo in the existing build tags.

Journey Context:
A developer writes a Go file with OS-specific logic, adding \`//go:build linux\` at the top. They build and test on their Linux machine successfully and push the code. However, when a colleague on macOS tries to build the project, they get a compilation error stating \`build constraints exclude all Go files\`. The developer is confused because the package directory clearly contains Go files. The root cause is that Go requires at least one file to be included in the build for any given package; if all files in a package have \`//go:build linux\`, a macOS build has zero files for that package, breaking the build. The fix is to create a corresponding stub file with \`//go:build \!linux\` that provides default or no-op implementations for the exported types and functions, ensuring the package compiles on all platforms.
