fix: escape regex metacharacters in glob exclude patterns

[github-actions]

🤖 This is an automated PR from Repo Assist.

Problem

isExcluded() in codeLensProvider.ts converts glob exclude patterns to regular expressions but does not escape regex metacharacters in the literal portions of the pattern.

For example, the default pattern **/*.min.js was compiled into the regex:

^.*/[^/]*.[^/]*.[^/]*$

Each literal . acts as a regex wildcard (matches any character), so a file like path/to/fooXminXjs would incorrectly match and be excluded. Similarly, patterns like **/*.test.* or **/*.spec.* could exclude unexpected files.

Fix

Save ** and * wildcard tokens as null-byte placeholders before calling the standard regex-escape step, then restore the placeholders as their intended regex tokens (.* / [^/]*). This ensures only the intended wildcard tokens are special; all other characters in the pattern (including .) are matched literally.

Before:

const regexPattern = normalizedPattern
  .replace(/\*\*/g, "___DOUBLESTAR___")
  .replace(/\*/g, "[^/]*")
  .replace(/___DOUBLESTAR___/g, ".*");

After:

const regexPattern = normalizedPattern
  .replace(/\*\*/g, "\x00DS\x00")          // placeholder for **
  .replace(/\*/g, "\x00S\x00")             // placeholder for *
  .replace(/[.+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, "\\$&")  // escape regex metacharacters
  .replace(/\x00DS\x00/g, ".*")            // ** matches across directories
  .replace(/\x00S\x00/g, "[^/]*");         // single * matches within directory

The same fix is applied to the filename-only branch.

Also included

Corrected the JSDoc on UnifiedFunctionMetrics.startLine / endLine from "(1-based)" to "(0-based)". The language analyzers return 0-based line numbers for function boundaries (as confirmed by the existing assertion results[0].startLine === 1 // 0-based line number on line 610 of csharpAnalyzer.test.ts), and createAnalyzer passes them through without normalization.

Added unit tests to codeLensProvider.test.ts verifying that literal dots in glob patterns are matched literally and not as regex wildcards — covering both the full-path branch (patterns with a /) and the filename-only branch (patterns without a /):

• Full-path: **/*.min.js excludes foo.min.js but does not exclude fooXminXjs; **/*.spec.* excludes app.spec.ts but does not exclude appXspecXts
• Filename-only: *.generated.* does not exclude fooXgeneratedXcs; *.min.js excludes foo.min.js but does not exclude fooXminXjs

Test Status

• ✅ npm run compile — passes with no errors
• ✅ npm run lint — passes with no warnings
• ✅ Unit tests added covering regex metacharacter escaping for both full-path and filename-only pattern branches
• ⚠️ npm test — requires VS Code binary download (sandboxed environment); existing tests cover the isExcluded patterns including *.generated.*, **/bin/**, and test* and all continue to pass logically with the fix (verified manually)

Pull request overview

Fixes incorrect exclusions caused by unescaped regex metacharacters when converting glob exclude patterns to RegExp in the CodeLens provider, and aligns UnifiedFunctionMetrics position docs with actual 0-based analyzer output.

Changes:

• Escape regex metacharacters in glob-to-regex conversion while preserving * / ** wildcard semantics via placeholders.
• Apply the same escaping logic to the filename-only matching branch.
• Correct UnifiedFunctionMetrics.startLine / endLine JSDoc to indicate 0-based line numbers.

Added coverage for the filename-only branch (patterns without a /) in commit 5f57546:

• *.generated.* should not exclude fooXgeneratedXcs (literal dots, filename-only branch)
• *.min.js should exclude foo.min.js
• *.min.js should not exclude fooXminXjs

Combined with the earlier full-path branch cases (**/*.min.js, **/*.spec.*), both code paths in isExcluded now have regression coverage for regex metacharacter escaping.
