Module dotfile 

Unified dot-file handling for vault storage

Dot-files (.gitignore, .envrc, etc.) need to be “neutralized” when stored in the vault to prevent them from having active effects (e.g., .gitignore affecting git’s view of the vault directory).

This module provides consistent transformation:

• .gitignore → dot.gitignore (neutralized)
• dot.gitignore → .gitignore (restored)

Functions

is_dotfile

Check if a path component is a dot-file or dot-directory.

neutralize_name

Transform a dot-file name to neutralized form: .foo → dot.foo

neutralize_path

Transform an entire path, neutralizing each dot-component.

restore_name

Transform a neutralized name back to dot-file form: dot.foo → .foo

restore_path

Transform an entire path, restoring each neutralized component.
