 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/41638/41638.2.diff

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.8 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)

 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins:
   * .testmu.php 1.0
 - Plugins:

 === Steps taken
 1. Create and add a single file with a "." at the start of the file name
 in the `mu-plugins` folder.
 2. Head over to the admin dashboard and go to `/wp-
 admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=mustuse`
 3. Observe the changes.
 4. ❌ Patch is failing

 === Expected result
 - Files that start with "." are hidden.

 === Additional Notes

 section will not be shown.
