[bug\_fix] go: no Go files in /path/to/package

Ensure at least one \`.go\` file in the package lacks build constraints \(or has constraints matching the current GOOS/GOARCH\), or avoid compiling the package on unsupported platforms.

Journey Context:
A developer writes a package containing cross-platform logic, placing \`//go:build linux\` on \`foo.go\` and \`//go:build windows\` on \`bar.go\`. They run \`go build\` or \`go test\` on their macOS machine and get an error stating there are no Go files in the package. They assume their GOPATH or module path is misconfigured and waste hours checking imports. The root cause is that the Go build system evaluates build constraints per file. If every file in a package has a constraint that evaluates to false for the current target OS and architecture, the package is effectively empty for that environment. The fix is to add a file with no constraints \(or an \`//go:build darwin\` file\) so the package compiles on macOS, or to move the OS-specific code into sub-packages that are only imported conditionally.
