+### Global changeDirs
+
+Top-level `changeDirs` apply to the entire package. When any changed file matches a global changeDir glob, all library exports are wildcard-tainted and all targets are triggered. This is useful for files that affect everything but aren't tracked by the AST analysis (e.g. locale bundles, config files).
