Description
Users cannot define their own global file exclusion patterns. The CLI only supports hardcoded defaults (like node_modules, .git) and per-project .blackboxignore files.
Current Behavior
No way to add custom global patterns
getCustomExcludes() method exists but returns empty array
Expected Behavior
Users should be able to define global exclusion patterns in their config (e.g., in settings.json) that apply across all projects.
Use Case
Users who want to always exclude:
Build artifacts (dist/, build/)
OS files (.DS_Store)
Personal cache folders
Language-specific compiled files (*.pyc, pycache)
