Workspace-mode vm run and vm workspace prepare used to copy both
tracked AND untracked non-ignored files into the guest. That silently
catches local .env files, scratch notes, credentials, and any other
working-tree state a developer hasn't explicitly gitignored — a real
data-exposure footgun given the golden image ships Docker and the
usual dev tooling.
Flip the default to tracked-only. Users who actually want the fuller
set opt in with --include-untracked (documented in both commands'
help). Gitignored files are still always excluded regardless of the
flag.
Add --dry-run to both vm run and vm workspace prepare. Dry-run
inspects the repo CLI-side (no VM created, no daemon RPC needed since
the daemon is always local and the inspection is a pure git read),
prints the exact file list + mode, and exits. A byte-level preview of
what would land in the guest.
When running real (non-dry) and untracked files exist in the repo but
are being skipped under the new default, print a one-line notice
pointing to --include-untracked so users aren't surprised when the
guest is missing something they expected.
Signature changes:
- ListOverlayPaths takes an includeUntracked bool (tracked always;
untracked gated by flag).
- InspectRepo takes the same flag and passes it through.
- VMWorkspacePrepareParams gains IncludeUntracked.
- WorkspaceService.workspaceInspectRepo seam signature widened to
match (4 callers in tests updated).
New workspace package tests cover both modes and verify that
gitignored files never leak regardless of the flag.
