Description

Hello!

Seems like .DS_Store files are excluded by default from SourceGenerator. But when using a --use-cache feature they get to the generated caches anyways. And each time a new .DS_store file appears the project gets regenerated because the cache has been changed. Is it an intended behavior or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance! And thanks for the great work you're doing here! 🙏

Research direction

Start by comparing the .DS_Store handling in Sources/XcodeGenKit/SourceGenerator.swift with cache generation in Sources/ProjectSpec/CacheFile.swift. Reproduce the behavior using --use-cache and a .DS_Store file, then verify that such files no longer alter generated caches or trigger unnecessary project regeneration.
