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

Ensure at least one .go file in the package does not have build constraints that exclude the current target OS/architecture. Add a default implementation file without OS-specific build tags, or fix the existing tags.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a cross-platform application and splits the network code into socket\_linux.go \(with //go:build linux\) and socket\_windows.go \(with //go:build windows\). When they attempt to compile and test locally on macOS, the build fails with this error. They initially suspect a syntax error in the build tags or a corrupted Go installation. After reading the documentation, they realize that because they are compiling for macOS \(darwin\), both files are excluded, leaving the package empty. They resolve it by adding a socket\_darwin.go or a generic socket.go without build constraints to provide an implementation for macOS.
