Versions <= 0.9.9 wrote an explicit-allowlist .codegraph/.gitignore
(*.db, cache/, .dirty, ...) that never listed daemon.pid or the socket,
so the daemon's runtime pidfile got committed. The wildcard rewrite in
#654/#492/#484 fixed new inits, but the file is only written when
absent, so existing installs kept their stale file forever — the fix
never reached the people hitting it.
Make the gitignore self-heal: ensureGitignore() writes the file if
absent and upgrades a stale CodeGraph-generated default in place,
leaving a user-authored file untouched. A "stale default" is one that
carries our `# CodeGraph data files` header but predates the wildcard
ignore (no bare `*` line) — a header match heals every historical
variant (v0.7.x..0.9.9, all verified to share it) and is idempotent.
validateDirectory() runs on every open()/openSync(), so existing repos
heal on the next codegraph command after upgrading. The duplicated
template (previously inlined in two formats) is consolidated into one
GITIGNORE_CONTENT constant.
