"""Tests that search_files excludes hidden directories by default. Regression for #1558: the agent read a 3.5MB skills hub catalog cache file (.hub/index-cache/clawhub_catalog_v1.json) that contained adversarial text from a community skill description. The model followed the injected instructions. Root cause: `find` and `grep` don't skip hidden directories like ripgrep does by default. This made search_files behavior inconsistent depending on which backend was available. Fix: _search_files (find) and _search_with_grep both now exclude hidden directories, matching ripgrep's default behavior.
