[BUG] Missing agents at start of cli, due to using Glob on .Claude/Agents folder starting with a dot

What's Wrong?

When a glob pattern contains a path segment that starts with a dot — such as .claude/agents/*.md — the Glob tool returns zero results and no warning, even when matching files exist at that exact path.

Actual behaviour: Zero results. No error or warning indicating that dotfolders were skipped.

Impact:
Agents that rely on Glob to discover files in .claude/ silently operate on an incomplete view of the workspace. Failures cascade: wrong assumptions get made and acted on.

What Should Happen?

Files at the explicitly named path .claude/agents/*.md are returned. An explicit dot-segment in a pattern is not a wildcard — it should not be subject to the Unix "skip hidden files" convention.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create files at .claude/agents/archie.md (and others) in a project root.
2. Call Glob with pattern .claude/agents/*.md and the project root as the path.
3. Result: empty — no files returned, no error.

Additional Information

Workaround:
Use Read with an explicit absolute path, or PowerShell/Bash with dir /a or ls -la.
For now I ordered the main claude.md to not use Glob for dot-related folder search.
