Rsync exclude patterns without a leading "/" match any directory of
the given name at any depth. The previous "scripts/" pattern was
meant to exclude upstream's top-level scripts/ dir (which contains
sync-to-codex-plugin.sh itself, bump-version.sh, etc.) but also
incorrectly excluded skills/brainstorming/scripts/ — a legitimate
skill-adjacent dir with 5 files (frame-template.html, helper.js,
server.cjs, start-server.sh, stop-server.sh).
Found during a determinism check: comparing the hand-crafted
add-superpowers-plugin bootstrap PR against an automated bootstrap
PR produced a diff showing those 5 files were missing from the
automated version.
Fix: anchor every top-level-only exclude with a leading "/".
.DS_Store stays unanchored because Finder creates them anywhere.
This also prevents future drift if anyone adds a tests/, hooks/,
docs/, lib/, etc. subdir inside a skill.
