initialSync already skipped these after docker#14117, but getWatchRules never did. A later edit was still copied into the container. Anchor the shared ignore with **/ so it matches the watch loop's absolute paths, and apply it only to copy actions so rebuild still fires. Signed-off-by: orivital <orivital2924@gmail.com>

this should only select service.Build.Dockerfile.

Default compose filenames and an unused Dockerfile stay eligible for sync. initialSync still excludes compose files. Signed-off-by: orivital <orivital2924@gmail.com>

What I did
#14117 restored the
initialSyncexclusion sodocker compose watchdoes not copy the Dockerfile or compose files into the container on first sync. That PR called out that the continuous loop (getWatchRules) never had the same ignore, and that it would need a differently-anchored matcher because it matches absolute host paths rather than basenames.Without that, a
develop.watchsync on the project root still copiesDockerfile/compose.yaml(and a custombuild.dockerfile) into the container when those files change after watch has started.Shared the ignore as
dockerFileIgnoreMatcherwith**/-anchored patterns so it works for bothinitialSync's basenames and the watch loop's full paths. Applied it only to copy actions (sync,sync+restart,sync+exec) so a rebuild trigger on the same tree still fires when those files change.Test plan
