+// gitIgnoredPaths asks git which paths under root it considers ignored, honoring every
+// source git itself resolves (nested .gitignore files, .git/info/exclude,
+// core.excludesFile). Returns a set of paths relative to root: whole ignored directories
+// collapsed to one entry plus individually ignored files, using forward slashes and no
+// trailing slash (the `rel` form Scan computes).
+//
+// Returns (nil, false) when root is not inside a git work tree, git is missing or older
+// than the floor below, or a command fails or times out. Scan then behaves as it does
+// outside git. A scan must never fail or hang because of this lookup.
+//
+// Git version floor: 2.16. `status --ignored=<mode>` landed in 2.16 and `--porcelain=v1`
+// in 2.11; an older git rejects the arguments, which lands on the (nil, false) path.
+// GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS (2.15) is an environment variable, so an older git ignores it.
+//
+// Why `status --ignored=matching` and not `ls-files --others --ignored --directory`:
+// ls-files stops descending at the first untracked directory, so an ignored directory or
+// file nested inside one (svc/build-out/, app/cache.db) is never reported. status descends,
