Description

When adding new Bazel packages to a workspace, it would be very useful to have the `all_files` `filegroup` added to the new packages and have the filegroup at the root updated with those targets.

Also, there could be a performance benefit to not use `glob()` and list the files.

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's Gazelle integration and the existing all_files filegroup declarations for new packages and the root package. Determine how a plugin would add explicit file lists instead of glob(), then verify that newly added Bazel packages and the root filegroup receive the appropriate targets.
