Report #97690

[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in ... no buildable Go source files ... \(if using //go:build tag that does not match current OS/arch\)

Correct the build constraint identifier or add the missing files for the target platform. For example, change \`//go:build linux\` to \`//go:build darwin\` when testing on macOS, or remove the constraint entirely if the file should be built everywhere.

Journey Context:
A developer added a file named \`platform\_specific.go\` with the header \`//go:build linux\` to use Linux-specific syscalls. On their macOS development machine, \`go build\` produced 'no buildable Go source files in directory'. The error baffled them because the package had other files. They discovered the build constraint prevented the file from being compiled on macOS. The fix was to implement a stub file for darwin with \`//go:build darwin\` or use \`//go:build \!linux\` for a cross-platform fallback. Alternatively, they could set \`GOOS=linux\` in their build command. This is a common pitfall when writing platform-specific code.
