Description
After refactoring, especially if folders are renamed, we might sometimes forget to update the folder name in `ruff.toml` / `.ruff.toml` / `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
target-version = "py311"
line-length = 90
output-prefer-rule-codes = true
include = [
"py-src/**/*.{py,pyi}", # If the folder name has changed, for example, to "pysrc", ruff will simply say nothing
]
```
I'm not sure about the `exclude` patterns, since they might be generated somewhere in CI, and the user might not have those files locally, so I don't think we should do that for `exclude`

Research direction
Start by tracing how ruff.toml, .ruff.toml, and pyproject.toml settings are loaded and how include and lint.per-file-ignores patterns are matched. Check the existing behavior for patterns matching no files, while treating exclude as an explicit scope question. Done means the applicable unmatched patterns produce a clear warning without incorrectly warning for excluded or unavailable files.
