+## 5) Notes on compatibility and correctness
+
+- Your earlier runtime error (`root` undefined in worker) is eliminated by passing `root` and `directory` into `_compute_record`.
+- The exclusion logic is **path-element based**, so `.gitignore` is not excluded when excluding `.git`.
+- `creation_date` is OS-dependent semantics (ctime on Unix). If you later want “birth time” portability, we can normalize explicitly per platform.
