Research direction

Start by tracing the existing targetExclude configuration API and how the cleanThat step receives exclusions. Compare the proposed targetExcludeFiles("TransactionBeanPostProcessorTest.java") behavior with the current glob-based exclusion, and verify that the named Java file is skipped while existing targetExclude patterns continue to work.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm going to speculate this is not the most efficient

  java {
    targetExclude("**/TransactionBeanPostProcessorTest.java")
    licenseHeader(copyright + javaLicense)
    cleanthat().addMutators(listOf("SafeAndConsensual", "SafeButNotConsensual"))
  }

I'd rather just write this, which would match that filename specifically.

targetExcludeFiles("TransactionBeanPostProcessorTest.java")

I have a problem where cleanThat can't currently handle java 21 code, and so I'm trying to make spotless skip it.
