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

Check the build tags \(e.g., //go:build or // \+build\) on the files in the package. Ensure that at least one file in the package does not have mutually exclusive build constraints that prevent it from being included in the current build environment.

Journey Context:
A developer is working on a service that runs on Google App Engine. They have a package with files split by build constraints: db\_appengine.go with //go:build appengine and db\_local.go with //go:build \!appengine. They accidentally add //go:build appengine to db\_local.go as well, or they delete db\_local.go and try to build locally using go build. The compiler complains that all files are excluded. They trace the error to the package, inspect the file headers, and realize that the build constraints on the remaining files only allow them to compile under App Engine. They restore the \!appengine file or fix the constraint logic, allowing the local build to proceed.
