+"""Tests that search_files excludes hidden directories by default.
+
+Regression for #1558: the agent read a 3.5MB skills hub catalog cache
+file (.hub/index-cache/clawhub_catalog_v1.json) that contained adversarial
+text from a community skill description. The model followed the injected
+instructions.
+
+Root cause: `find` and `grep` don't skip hidden directories like ripgrep
+does by default. This made search_files behavior inconsistent depending
+on which backend was available.
+
+Fix: _search_files (find) and _search_with_grep both now exclude hidden
+directories, matching ripgrep's default behavior.
