 * Search files matching the given patterns under `options.cwd`.
 * Always honours DEFAULT_IGNORE_PATTERNS. When `respectGitignore` is true
 * (default), nested `.gitignore` files are respected with Git semantics.
 *
 * Symlinks encountered while walking are not followed, like Prettier,
 * gitleaks, and ripgrep. A symlink passed explicitly as a pattern is
 * still resolved and scanned.
 *
 * Patterns are interpreted as globs by default. To pass a literal path —
 * for example a file whose name contains glob special characters such as
 * `[`, `(`, `{`, or `?` — set `noGlob: true` (CLI: `--no-glob`).
