Report #95526

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

Ensure the package has at least one Go file that applies to the current GOOS/GOARCH combination, either by adding a default implementation file without build constraints or adding a file specific to the target platform.

Journey Context:
A developer writes a package with OS-specific implementations, creating \`foo\_linux.go\` with \`//go:build linux\` and \`foo\_windows.go\` with \`//go:build windows\`. They attempt to compile or run tests on macOS \(\`GOOS=darwin\`\). The Go compiler evaluates the build constraints and finds that neither file is included in the build for Darwin. Since a Go package cannot be completely empty, the compiler throws this error. The developer must either add a \`foo\_darwin.go\`, a generic \`foo\_other.go\` with a \`//go:build \!linux && \!windows\` constraint, or a completely unconstrained \`foo.go\` to provide a fallback implementation.
