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

Add a stub .go file without build constraints \(or with constraints matching the target OS/Architecture\), or correct mutually exclusive build tags, ensuring at least one file is included in the build for the target platform.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a cross-platform application. They have network\_linux.go and network\_windows.go. They add a new function only used on Linux and put it in utils\_linux.go. When they build on their Mac \(darwin\), the compiler throws 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. They are confused because the package was building fine yesterday. They check the imports and file structure, realizing that the utils package only has the \_linux.go file, meaning on darwin there are zero files to compile for that package. They fix it by adding an empty utils\_other.go or utils\_darwin.go to satisfy the compiler on non-Linux platforms, ensuring every package has at least one viable source file per build target.
