Description

This PR fixes an issue where SWS returned 404 when serving from a hidden directory (i.e., /.root) together with the --ignore-hidden-files feature being enabled.

Server configuration

$ static-web-server -p 8788 -d .public/ --ignore-hidden-files

Before

$ curl -I http://localhost:8788
# HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
# content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
# content-length: 312
# accept-ranges: bytes
# vary: accept-encoding
# cache-control: max-age=86400
# date: Fri, 26 Dec 2025 14:24:54 GMT

After (expected)

$ curl -I http://localhost:8788
# HTTP/1.1 200 OK
# content-length: 639
# content-type: text/html
# accept-ranges: bytes

Motivation and Context

I think that only components of the path under the base path should be considered for being hidden.
The base path is explicit and there is no point in considering its components.
Current behavior was undesirable when I was trying to make automated tests that make use of this project.
In my tests, I have created temporary base directories that happen to have a hidden component.

How Has This Been Tested?

Added a test.
