# Ghost snapshot ignores
This PR should close#7067, #7395, #7405.
Prior to this change the ghost snapshot task ran `git status
--ignored=matching` so the report picked up literally every ignored
file. When a directory only contained entries matched by patterns such
as `dozens/*.txt`, `/test123/generated/*.html`, or `/wp-includes/*`, Git
still enumerated them and the large-untracked-dir detection treated the
parent directory as “large,” even though everything inside was
intentionally ignored.
By removing `--ignored=matching` we only capture true untracked paths
now, so those patterns stay out of the snapshot report and no longer
trigger the “large untracked directories” warning.

This PR is a documentation only one which:
- addresses the #7231 by adding a paragraph in `docs/getting-started.md`
in the tips category to encourage users to load everything needed in
their environment
- corrects link referencing in `docs/platform-sandboxing.md` so that the
page link opens at the right section
- removes the explicit heading IDs like {#my-id} in `docs/advanced.md`
which are not supported by GitHub and are **not** rendered in the UI:

/>
This caused the following links in `README.md` to not work in `main` but
to work in this branch (you can test by going to
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/docs/getting-started-enhancement/README.md)
- the MCP link goes straight to the correct section now:
```markdown
- [**Advanced**](./docs/advanced.md)
- [Tracing / verbose logging](./docs/advanced.md#tracing--verbose-logging)
- [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](./docs/advanced.md#model-context-protocol-mcp)
```
