Detailed Description

Path-relative ignore matching honoring .gitignore + .explorerignore.

Issue #15 (v2.1.4): the filesystem MCP server pre-2.1.4 hardcoded a tiny SKIP_DIRS list (.git, node_modules, __pycache__, .venv). Anything else (build artifacts, doxygen output, generated XML, large vendor blobs) leaked through grep/glob/read results, drowning real matches in noise.

IgnoreMatcher loads gitignore-style patterns from two sources:

1. .gitignore files — discovered recursively. Each file's rules are anchored at that file's directory (so build/ in <root>/sub/.gitignore matches <root>/sub/build/... only, matching git's documented behavior).
2. .explorerignore (workspace root only) — supplementary, applied after gitignore (so it can both add and re-include via !).

Supported gitignore syntax:

• Filename globs: \*.log, ?.tmp, [abc].py
• Directory match: build/ (trailing slash means directory only)
• Path-anchored: /foo (root-anchored), foo/bar (path contains /)
• Recursive: leading double-star matches any depth; trailing double-star is recursive descent
• Negation: !keep.log (re-include after a broader exclude)
• Comments: # ...
• Blank lines skipped

Matching is path-relative to root (forward-slash form), never filename-only — build/foo.o correctly matches build/.
