Research direction

Start at the implementation of newgit tracker list and inspect how it selects trackers and formats the PATHS column. Compare a tracker with paths = [] against one with paths, then check the existing wording referenced in issue #44 and the supabase template example. Done means all trackers appear, with deposit or resource information shown for trackers without paths; verify the ROLE column also includes roles from those trackers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

newgit tracker list leaves out every tracker with paths = []. In a project with runtime-env (six paths) and branch-db (paths = [], resources = ["db", "functions"], deposits from db):

NAME          KIND   ROLE STORAGE AUDIENCE     PATHS
root          code   -    local   project-devs (everything no other tracker claims)
  project     code   -    local   project-devs .newgit
    access    code   -    local   project-devs (maintained by owner) .newgit/trackers
  runtime-env secret -    local   user         apps/admin/.env.local, ...

branch-db isn't listed, although spawn --use branch-db binds it and status shows it. The same happened with two role alternatives (shared-db and branch-db, role db): neither showed, so the ROLE column never shows the one role the project has.

A deposit-only tracker or one that only brings resources is a normal thing to define (the supabase template creates one), and the list is where you'd check what --use accepts.

Expected: list every tracker, with something like (deposits only) or brings: db, functions in PATHS. See also the (0 files) wording from #44.

Environment: newgit 0.7.0 (06fc371005bc), macOS (Darwin 27.0.0), git 2.55.0, Supabase CLI 2.108.0, Docker 29.9.2. npm-workspaces monorepo (Expo + Next.js + Supabase); resources deps (install), admin (process), db (supabase), functions (process).
