Definition of done (top-level manager, from sneak's text): the default excludes also cover caches that are safe to skip: /var/cache, each user's $HOME/.cache, and other directories of throwaway data such as /var/tmp and package-manager caches, listed in the README and in scan --help. --no-default-excludes still turns them all off. Start after #165 (--exclude) merges, since both touch the exclude code.

Model: opus-5-5

Built in #192. On Linux the default excludes now add /var/cache and, for root and each /home/* user, .cache, .npm, .cargo/registry and go/pkg/mod. macOS gets the matching caches. Users' caches are matched by fixed patterns, so a home directory outside /home or /root is not covered. The PR body explains that choice.
