[BUG] File Extensions Hardcoded, Not Configurable

[olddev94]

Project

vgrep

Description

The list of file extensions to index is hardcoded in src/core/indexer.rs. Users cannot configure which file types to index without modifying the source code. This is problematic for:

• Projects using non-standard extensions
• Users wanting to exclude certain file types
• Custom languages or formats

Error Message

None - missing feature.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a project with .custom or .xyz files
2. Run vgrep index
3. Files are not indexed (silently skipped)
4. No way to configure this via CLI or config

Expected Behavior

1. Default extensions in config file
2. CLI to add/remove extensions:

   vgrep config extensions add .custom
   vgrep config extensions remove .txt

3. .vgrepignore file for exclusions
4. Support glob patterns like *.test.js

Actual Behavior

1. Extensions are hardcoded
2. Cannot be changed without recompiling
3. No ignore file support
4. List is duplicated in 3 places (DRY violation)
