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

Ensure the Go files in the package have the correct build tags \(e.g., //go:build linux\) and that you are building for the correct target OS/Architecture \(e.g., GOOS=linux go build\), or provide a stub implementation for the current OS.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a Go application locally on a macOS machine and encounters build constraints exclude all Go files for a package that handles system-level interactions. They inspect the directory and see .go files present. They might try adding an empty file without build tags to the package, but this leads to duplicate function definitions during compilation. The root cause is that all files in the package have //go:build linux tags, making the package entirely empty when building for macOS. The fix works because either setting GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build to cross-compile for the intended target, or providing a stub implementation for macOS \(with //go:build darwin\), resolves the build constraint conflict, ensuring at least one file is included in the build for the current environment.
