What changed

A package at the workspace root owns every file outside the member crates, so keeping cargo soothfast test from re-running it meant an ignore entry for every directory no test reads. Any new root file selected the package and invalidated its stored passes until someone added another entry. soothfast.toml can now say which files a package's tests depend on instead, and everything else the package owns stops counting.

[test.packages.mylib]
files = ["src/**", "tests/**", "benches/**", "examples/**", "build.rs", "docs/**"]

• Added [test.packages.NAME] tables with a files list of globs relative to the package's manifest directory. A file the package owns that matches none of them is ignored for selection and left out of the package's key.
• Kept the existing precedence. inputs still wins over a list, ignore still subtracts from it, and the build-wide files (Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, the toolchain and cargo config) still select every package.
• Counted a package's own Cargo.toml for it whatever its list says. A member's manifest is not a build-wide file, so leaving it out would have hidden dependency and feature changes.
• Kept a nested member's files with the member. A root package's list never applies to them.
• Added errors, each naming the table as written: a table for a package the workspace does not have, a table with no files, a repeated table, an unknown key, an unbalanced quote in the name, and any other [test.*] table.
• Documented the lists in docs/testing.md. That includes what to list (the generated tests/soothfast_docs/ and examples/soothfast_capture/ targets among them), that the list is about what tests read rather than what cargo package ships, and that reads by relative path outside the package are invisible to it.

Why

A deny-list goes stale every time a file is added at the root. An allow-list only changes when the tests start reading something new.

How was this tested

• Selection and the key run through the same select::classify, from select() and from package_inputs and workspace_inputs in test/key.rs.
• Added config tests for bare and quoted table names, every error case, and the missing-package check.
• Added selection tests:
  • a root package with a list ignores new root files and still selects itself and its dependents for a listed file;
  • a nested member's files stay the member's whatever the root lists;
  • inputs, ignore and the build-wide files keep their precedence;
  • a member's list is relative to its own directory, and its own Cargo.toml still counts.
• Added a key test: with a root list, new unlisted files move neither the package nor the workspace digest, and a listed file moves only the package digest.
• Removing the list check fails exactly the tests that depend on it. Removing the manifest exception fails the manifest case.
• Added a quoted [test.packages."..."] table to the site config test that checks foreign tables are skipped.
• cargo test -p cargo-soothfast --bin cargo-soothfast -- test::config test::select test::key: 43 passed. cargo test -p soothfast-site config: 10 passed.
• cargo soothfast docs build: 20 pages built, so the site renderer accepts the new section.
• make check: passed (test: 2 of 10 packages selected, 4 binaries run, 0 skipped (cached), doc tests in 1 packages), at the commit before the manifest fix. The manifest fix was covered by the scoped tests above and the pre-commit hook's fmt and clippy.
• make gate BASE=master was not run. This changes no measured code.

Checklist

• make check passes (fmt, clippy -D warnings, cargo test --workspace)
• make gate BASE=master passes, or any intentional cost change is explained above
• Tests added/updated for new behavior (not required for docs/CI-only changes)
• Public API items have /// doc comments
• No new dependency, or its justification is included above (see Dependency Policy)
• Docs (README.md, docs/, soothfast:bind/soothfast:claim markers) updated if behavior changed
