User-directed from the G-092 measurement findings: a single
-include-paths value with four deep patterns matched only one subtree,
and repeated -include-paths flags matched zero files, both under the
default *.test tail glob - contradicting the documented accumulate
semantics. Context records the full repro matrix (multi-pattern forms
with explicit tails worked; standalone globmatchpath matched the same
patterns, implicating the treefilenames walk/prune or option-value
shape), the candidate root causes, and the tail-glob workaround. Notes
record that treefilenames already implements -exclude-paths unexposed
by runtests - the planned middle-ground option should be pinned by the
same regression suite.
