Adds AddPatternsWithSource for callers that load ignore files through an fs.FS or another source. Match details and parse errors retain the supplied filename and line provenance.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for loading pattern bytes from another filesystem while retaining their source path in match details and errors.
• Documentation
  • Documented the new pattern-loading option and how source paths are reported.

Walkthrough

Matcher adds AddPatternsWithSource to associate a source label with patterns. The README documents the method, and a test checks source information in match details and pattern errors.

Changes: Pattern Source Provenance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add patterns with source provenance gitignore.go, gitignore_test.go, README.md	AddPatternsWithSource adds patterns with a source label. The test checks that the source and line appear in match details and pattern errors. The README documents the method.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: kaizenshogun

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 5fcc6

Callers who load a root .gitignore through an fs.FS and pass path.Dir(name) as the directory will find that none of the root patterns match. Normalize "." to the empty root scope and add a root-file test before merging.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 5fcc6

The new API preserves source labels without changing pattern matching, directory scoping, or filesystem access. No material security risk introduced or worsened by this change was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is the caller-owned matcher's rules and returned provenance. The inspected path adds no service, tenant, credential, or filesystem authority. Supplied dependency evidence does not establish external consumers or substantiate broad propagation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Source is caller-supplied descriptive data, not authenticated file identity. It is copied into match results and errors without verification, but is not used to authorize access, open a path, or determine whether a pattern matches.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Preserve source labels for added patterns" matches the main change. The PR adds the public method AddPatternsWithSource to Matcher in gitignore.go. That method attaches a source path to patterns, so MatchDetail and Errors can report it. The PR also adds a test, TestAddPatternsWithSource, and a README update. The title is short, specific, and states the primary change from the developer's view.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
