Model Used

mistral-small-3.1-24b-instruct-2503-max-neo-imatrix

Actual vs. Expected Behavior

When model asks to list_files with recursive: true, the Roo Code returns empty files list in my case.
Root folder among other has the folder with files in it:

.roo-memory/
.roo-memory/Task.md
.roo-memory/Description.md

The log from lms log stream for recursive: true call:

I need to list the files in the ".roo-memory/" folder
<list_files>
<path>.roo-memory</path>
<recursive>true</recursive>
</list_files>[INST][list_files for '.roo-memory'] Result:No files found.<environment_details>

The log from lms log stream for recursive: false call:

I need to list the files in the `.roo-memory` directory without recursion
<list_files>
<path>.roo-memory</path>
<recursive>false</recursive>
</list_files>[INST][list_files for '.roo-memory'] Result:Description.md
Task.md<environment_details>

I believe this is because it's configured to ignore directories that start with a dot. https://github.com/RooVetGit/Roo-Code/blob/7020d1db2cd16ba14739d60e50edbdb22aea39be/src/services/glob/list-files.ts#L29

Not sure the best fix / whether we need to change, but just wanted to share what I found about why this is happening.

The inconsistency seems to stem from how the DIRS_TO_IGNORE pattern ".*" is applied in src/services/glob/list-files.ts (in buildRecursiveArgs compared to buildNonRecursiveArgs).

If we aim for more consistent behavior, it might be worth considering how this interacts with the existing .gitignore and .rooignore mechanisms. The list_files function already includes logic for .gitignore. A possible direction could be to ensure that explicitly targeted dot-directories can be listed, while still respecting the project's ignore rules from .gitignore and .rooignore for general listings.
