The new tree-level behavior has no consumer coverage: the existing FileTree fixtures contain no ignored entries, so they cannot detect a regression where excluded files are always visible, always hidden, or do not react to the preference. Add a FileTree test with ignored file and folder entries that verifies both preference states (including the update path).

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

In `@src/chrome/FileTree.tsx` around lines 852 - 862, Add consumer coverage for
the FileTree filtering logic around showExcludedFiles, using entries that
include both ignored files and ignored folders. Verify ignored entries are
hidden when the preference is disabled, visible when enabled, and that changing
the preference updates the rendered tree.
