Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the two Lua commands in the report, comparing find_upwards('node_modules'):exists() with find_upwards('red_herring'):exists(). Trace the find_upwards and exists entry points, then verify that a missing upward match returns false without hanging.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
You'd expect this to echo true, and this is what happens:
:lua print(require('plenary.path'):new('.'):find_upwards('node_modules'):exists())
You'd expect this to echo false, but instead it just hangs:
:lua print(require('plenary.path'):new('.'):find_upwards('red_herring'):exists())
