 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-21 - 11.2.1 - fix(fs)
+Fix inconsistent glob matching in listFileTree and update test imports and dependency versions for enhanced stability.
+
+- Enhanced listFileTree to support **/ patterns by using dual patterns (root and nested) with deduplication.
+- Updated test imports to use '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle' for consistency across test files.
+- Bumped dependency versions (@push.rocks/lik, smartpromise, smartrequest, glob) in package.json.
+- Added npm configuration (.npmrc) and local settings for improved test verbosity.
+
 ## 2025-01-29 - 11.2.0 - feat(fs)
 Enhanced copy method with optional replaceTargetDir option for directory replacement

+# SmartFile Implementation Hints
+
+## listFileTree Function Enhancement (ts/fs.ts:367-415)
+
+### Issue Fixed
+The `listFileTree` function previously had inconsistent behavior with `**/*.extension` patterns across different systems and glob implementations. Some implementations would miss root-level files when using patterns like `**/*.ts`.
+
+### Solution Implemented
+Modified the function to explicitly handle `**/` patterns by:
+1. Detecting when a pattern starts with `**/`
+2. Extracting the file pattern after `**/` (e.g., `*.ts` from `**/*.ts`)
+3. Running both the original pattern and the extracted root pattern
+4. Using a Set to deduplicate results and ensure consistent ordering
+
+### Key Benefits
+- Guarantees consistent behavior across all systems
+- Ensures both root-level and nested files are found with `**/*` patterns  
+- Maintains backward compatibility
+- No performance degradation due to efficient deduplication
+
+### Test Coverage
+Added comprehensive tests to verify:
+- Both root and nested files are found with `**/*.ts`
+- No duplicate entries in results
+- Edge cases with various file extensions work correctly
+
+This fix ensures tools like `tsbuild check **/*.ts` work reliably across all systems.
