Report #7151

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

Add a default implementation file for the package without OS/architecture-specific build tags, or add a file for the missing target \(e.g., \_darwin.go\).

Journey Context:
A developer is writing a cross-platform application and creates a package with network utilities. They write net\_linux.go and net\_windows.go, using //go:build linux and //go:build windows constraints. When they run go build on their macOS machine, the compiler throws an error that build constraints exclude all Go files in that package. The developer is confused because the package compiles fine in their Docker Linux container. The root cause is that the Go compiler requires every imported package to have at least one file that compiles for the current target environment. Since neither net\_linux.go nor net\_windows.go is included on macOS, the package is empty, which is illegal. The fix is to create a net\_default.go or net\_other.go with a //go:build \!linux && \!windows constraint that provides a stub or fallback implementation for unsupported platforms.
