Verify FileScanner handles directory/file exclusions and edge cases.

Scope

Directory exclusion (exact path and nested)
File exclusion (exact name and wildcard patterns)
.git always excluded
Symlinks, unreadable files, empty directories

Acceptance Criteria

Excluded directories and all children are skipped
Wildcard file patterns work (*.bak, *.tmp)
.git directory always excluded
Unreadable files are skipped without error

Testing Plan

TC-3.1: Directory exclusion

Add tmp, cache, administrator/logs to exclude dirs
Run backup, list ZIP contents
Verify no files from those dirs in archive

TC-3.2: Nested exclusion

Add images/cache to exclude dirs
Verify images/cache/thumbs/file.jpg is excluded
Verify images/other/file.jpg is included

TC-3.3: File pattern exclusion

Add *.bak and *.tmp to exclude files
Create test.bak and test.tmp in site root
Run backup, verify those files are NOT in archive
Verify test.txt IS in archive

TC-3.4: .git exclusion

Verify .git directory is always excluded even without explicit filter

TC-3.5: Unreadable files

Create a file with 000 permissions
Run backup
Verify backup completes (file skipped, no crash)

## Testing Plan **TC-3.1: Directory exclusion** 1. Add `tmp`, `cache`, `administrator/logs` to exclude dirs 2. Run backup, list ZIP contents 3. Verify no files from those dirs in archive **TC-3.2: Nested exclusion** 1. Add `images/cache` to exclude dirs 2. Verify `images/cache/thumbs/file.jpg` is excluded 3. Verify `images/other/file.jpg` is included **TC-3.3: File pattern exclusion** 1. Add `*.bak` and `*.tmp` to exclude files 2. Create test.bak and test.tmp in site root 3. Run backup, verify those files are NOT in archive 4. Verify test.txt IS in archive **TC-3.4: .git exclusion** 1.
