Summary
Each base may define path ignore rules in `.reqlan/.rqignore` using **gitignore syntax**.
Patterns are relative to the base root ( parent of `.reqlan` ), not the `.reqlan` directory.
Owned by `@reqlan/analytical` so the CLI, MCP, and extension share one filter for discovery and indexing walks.
Built-in defaults always apply ( dependencies, venvs, build output, VCS / editor stores, `*.db3` / sqlite DBs and SQLite sidecars, binary globs per binary_ignore, files that have no comments per commentless_file_ignore, `*.secret.rq`, hidden entries, and `.reqlan/` itself ); the on-disk file adds or overrides via the same syntax, including `!` negation.
New bases seed `.reqlan/.rqignore` with those defaults ( rqignore ).
Missing or unreadable `.rqignore` still uses built-in defaults.
Location convention: configuration_location. Application memory: application_memory.
