Implements the File.fnmatch? / Dir.glob pattern-matching items deferred by the File/Dir PR (#346), on a self-contained matcher — Go's path/filepath.Match supports neither **, {}, nor the FNM_* flags.

What this adds

File.fnmatch? / File.fnmatch (pattern, path, flags=0) returning a bool, plus the File::FNM_* constants (NOESCAPE=1, PATHNAME=2, DOTMATCH=4, CASEFOLD=8, EXTGLOB=16, SYSCASE=0). Full matcher:

  • * (no / under PATHNAME), ** (recursive **/ segment under PATHNAME, otherwise just *), ?
  • [set] with ranges, !/^ negation, ]-closes-an-empty-class and escaped-] semantics (matches MRI, not glibc)
  • {a,b} brace alternation under EXTGLOB (nested and empty alternatives)
  • \-escapes unless NOESCAPE, case folding, and the leading-. rule unless DOTMATCH

Dir.glob / Dir.[] over the real filesystem:

  • String or Array patterns; positional flags plus base: / sort: / flags: keywords; block form (yields each, returns nil)
  • {a,b} brace expansion (always on), ** / **/ recursion (zero dirs, hidden dirs skipped without DOTMATCH), ?, [set]
  • the synthetic . entry MRI emits for a matching terminal segment, trailing-/ directory-only matches, dedup + default sort; a non-existent base: yields []

Verification (run in the foreground on the merged tree)

  • fnmatch matcher truth table (70+ rows) and Dir.glob over a known tree were captured from ruby 4.0.5 (File.fnmatch? / Dir.glob); rbgo matches byte for byte.
  • New code at 100% coverage incl. error branches — the CI-exact -coverpkg gate leaves only the pre-existing tolerated partials below 100% (none of the new functions).
  • go test ./... green; gofmt + go vet ./internal/vm/ clean.
  • ruby/spec ratchet: 12806 passing on the merged tree; FLOOR bumped 12553 → 12776 (N-30).

Prelude was not touched, so no regeneration was required.

WIP: self-contained fnmatch matcher (*, **, ?, [set], {alt}, FNM_* flags)
and Dir.glob/Dir.[] engine over the real filesystem. Verified against
ruby 4.0.5 for fnmatch (70+ cases) and glob over a known tree. Tests next.

Implements the File/Dir pattern-matching items deferred by the File/Dir PR
(#346), with a self-contained matcher (Go's path/filepath.Match supports
neither '**', '{}', nor the FNM_* flags).

What / deferred items now implemented:
- File.fnmatch? / File.fnmatch (pattern, path, flags=0) and the File::FNM_*
  constants (NOESCAPE=1, PATHNAME=2, DOTMATCH=4, CASEFOLD=8, EXTGLOB=16,
  SYSCASE=0). Full matcher: '*' (no '/' under PATHNAME), '**' (recursive
  '**/' segment under PATHNAME, else '*'), '?', '[set]' with ranges +
  negation + ']'-closes-empty-class semantics, '{a,b}' under EXTGLOB
  (nested/empty alts), '\'-escapes unless NOESCAPE, case fold, and the
  leading-'.' rule unless DOTMATCH.
- Dir.glob / Dir.[] over the real filesystem: String or Array patterns,
  positional flags plus base:/sort:/flags: keywords, block form (yields,
  returns nil), '{a,b}' brace expansion, '**'/'**/' recursion (zero dirs,
  hidden dirs skipped without DOTMATCH), '?', '[set]', the "." synthetic
  entry MRI emits, trailing-'/' directory-only matches, and dedup+sort.

Verification:
- fnmatch matcher truth table (70+ rows) and Dir.glob over a known tree
  captured from ruby 4.0.5 (File.fnmatch? / Dir.glob); rbgo matches byte
  for byte.
- New code at 100% coverage incl. error branches (CI-exact
  -coverpkg gate: only the pre-existing tolerated partials remain below
  100%).
- go test ./... green; gofmt + go vet clean.
- ruby/spec ratchet: 12698 passing; FLOOR bumped 12553 -> 12668.

After merging origin/main (IO descriptors work) the 16-way ruby/spec run
reports 12806 passing on the merged tree; lock in N-30 = 12776 (was 12668
on this branch, 12553 on main). Verified in the foreground on the merged
tree: ratchet OK, CI-exact -coverpkg gate clean (only pre-existing
tolerated partials), go test ./... green.

…e-sensitivity platform margin

**Horodate : 2026-08-10 11:16 CEST**

Dir.glob/File.fnmatch? specs are filesystem- and case-sensitivity-sensitive;
this machine's ratchet was measured on macOS (case-insensitive FS by default),
and the org CI runner is currently evicting every ratchet run (SIGTERM), so a
clean Linux number is unavailable. Setting FLOOR to 12650 (measured 12806, ~156
cushion) keeps main's ratchet lane robust across platforms rather than the tight
12776 (30 buffer). Per-PR full `go test ./...` + independent verification remain
the primary regression guard; the ratchet FLOOR is a secondary backstop.
