When creating a new worktree, automatically copy gitignored files listed in a .worktreeinclude file (gitignore syntax) from the main worktree into the new worktree. Only files that are both gitignored and matched by a pattern are copied — tracked files are never duplicated. - Add `addWorktreeWithIncludes()` which wraps `addWorktree()` with a best-effort post-creation copy step - Add `readWorktreeIncludePatterns()` to parse the .worktreeinclude file - Add `getIgnoredFilesMatchingPatterns()` using `git ls-files --others --ignored` and the `ignore` npm package for .gitignore-spec matching - Add `copyWorktreeIncludeFiles()` with path-traversal protection - Wire AddWorktreeDialog to use `addWorktreeWithIncludes` - Add `ignore` ^7.0.5 as a dependency - Add 11 unit tests covering all new functions Resolves pol-rivero#126
