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

Ensure there is at least one Go file in the package without build constraints for the target OS/Architecture, or use \`GOOS\` and \`GOARCH\` to cross-compile for the intended platform.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a cross-platform application and splits OS-specific logic into files like \`process\_linux.go\` and \`process\_windows.go\` using \`//go:build\` tags. They run \`go build\` on their macOS machine and get an error that build constraints exclude all Go files. They are baffled because the code compiles fine in their Docker container \(which runs Linux\). They realize that on macOS, neither the Linux nor Windows build tags are satisfied, leaving the package completely empty. The Go compiler requires every imported package to have at least one valid source file for the current compilation target. They fix it by adding a \`process\_darwin.go\` for macOS, or a generic \`process.go\` without build tags, making the package whole for all targets.
