Description
🌈 Feature
Hi, I recently installed PureScript and Spago and ran a few commands which populated a .spago directory with so many files that the file explorer told me that it stops syncing because too many files. It would be cool to be able to define some paths to ignore for the explorer before running such a command, similar to .gitignore. So I could ignore .spago in the first place and the file explorer wouldn't get overwhelmed.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the file explorer's file enumeration and syncing entry points, then check how project configuration is read. Done means users can define ignored paths such as .spago before commands run, and those files no longer overwhelm explorer syncing.
