What happened, and what did you expect?

Support .ignore files (using the same pattern syntax as .gitignore) that act as a local override layer on top of .gitignore. This is a well-established pattern used by tools like fd, ag, and rg:

.gitignore — patterns to ignore (unchanged, respected by CodeGraph as today)
.ignore — patterns to override .gitignore with negation patterns (! prefix)

For example, if .gitignore contains:
customer/

And the user creates .ignore with:
!customer/

Then codebase-memory-mcp would include the customer/ directory in its index even though it's gitignored.
