Description

When trying to access a .env.example file in a project, Goose blocks access with the error:

Access to '/path/to/project/.env.example' is restricted by .gooseignore

Environment

• Local .gooseignore: Does not exist in the project directory
• Global .gooseignore at ~/.config/goose/.gooseignore contains:

  !.env.example
  

Expected Behavior

The ! prefix should negate the pattern and explicitly allow access to .env.example files, following the standard gitignore-style negation syntax.

Actual Behavior

Goose still blocks access to .env.example files despite the negation pattern in the global .gooseignore.

Possible Causes

1. The negation pattern (!) isn't being parsed correctly
2. There's a default internal rule blocking .env* files that the negation isn't overriding
3. The global .gooseignore file isn't being read/applied properly

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a global .gooseignore at ~/.config/goose/.gooseignore with content !.env.example
2. Ensure no local .gooseignore exists in the project
3. Try to view or edit a .env.example file using Goose
4. Observe the access restriction error
