Anchor project-only patterns in .mcpbignore template#12
Merged
Conversation
Unanchored gitignore patterns (no leading `/`) match anywhere in the
tree — including inside `deps/`. Patterns like `tests/`, `docs/`, or
`conftest.py` end up stripping legitimate runtime files from vendored
dependencies, breaking imports when the bundle starts.
Split the template into two sections:
1. Strip anywhere (`__pycache__`, `*.pyc`, `.DS_Store`) — safe
cross-tree hygiene.
2. Project-only (anchored with `/`) — patterns that must only match
at the project root.
Also drops `conftest.py` (redundant with `/tests/`, and collides with
legitimate runtime modules like `beartype._conf.conftest`).
