  1  """Tests that search_files excludes hidden directories by default.
  2  
  3  Regression for #1558: the agent read a 3.5MB skills hub catalog cache
  4  file (.hub/index-cache/clawhub_catalog_v1.json) that contained adversarial
  5  text from a community skill description. The model followed the injected
  6  instructions.
  7  
  8  Root cause: `find` and `grep` don't skip hidden directories like ripgrep
  9  does by default. This made search_files behavior inconsistent depending
 10  on which backend was available.
 11  
 12  Fix: _search_files (find) and _search_with_grep both now exclude hidden
 13  directories, matching ripgrep's default behavior.
