The matchDoubleStarPattern function was not normalizing path separators, causing patterns like **/.venv/** to fail on Windows where paths use backslashes. This resulted in .venv directories being indexed despite being in .gitignore or .pommelignore. Changes: - Use explicit strings.ReplaceAll() to convert backslashes to forward slashes in matchDoubleStarPattern (filepath.ToSlash only converts the OS-native separator) - Add handling for **/.venv/** style patterns (directory with content) - Add handling for .venv/** patterns (without leading **) - Trim trailing slashes to avoid false matches on directory-only paths - Add .venv and venv to default exclude patterns - Add comprehensive cross-platform tests for path separator handling 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
After installation completes, both bash and PowerShell installers now display clear getting started steps: 1. cd <your project directory> 2. pm init 3. pm start Also includes a helpful tip about using 'pm status' to monitor indexing progress while noting that Pommel works with a partial index too. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
