fix(core): disable ignore filters for outputs expansion (#34316)

leosvelperez · web-flow · commit dffdfa694c95 · 2026-02-05T16:37:14.000-05:00
## Current Behavior When a task output directory contains a nested `.gitignore` that hides its contents, Nx can treat the outputs as already present and skip restoring them from cache. This can result in generated files being missing from disk, even though the cache entry is valid. ## Expected Behavior Nx should restore cached outputs regardless of ignore rules inside the output directory. ## Related Issue(s) Fixes #32620
