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

Add a Go file with the missing build constraint \(e.g., \_darwin.go for macOS\) or a default file without OS-specific build tags to ensure the package is included on all target platforms.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a CLI tool and splits OS-specific logic into exec\_linux.go and exec\_windows.go. They develop on a Linux machine and tests pass. They push to CI, which runs on macOS, and the build fails with 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. The developer is baffled because the package exists and works locally. They dive into the CI logs and realize the Go toolchain is skipping both files because GOOS=darwin matches neither linux nor windows. The package effectively becomes empty on macOS, which Go treats as an error. The fix is to add an exec\_darwin.go file to provide the implementation for macOS, or a generic exec.go without build tags if the logic is portable, ensuring the package has at least one file for every target OS.
