🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use exact match instead of startswith for the temp-dir skip.

_TEMP_DIR_NAME is a fixed literal (.fosslight_temp), not a prefix with a variable suffix. dir_name.startswith(_TEMP_DIR_NAME) excludes any directory whose name happens to start with that string, not only the tool's own temp directory. A user directory named, for example, .fosslight_temp_backup or .fosslight_temporary gets silently skipped during traversal, so its files never reach binary classification.

Use exact equality instead:

🛠️ Proposed fix 
-        dirs[:] = [dir_name for dir_name in dirs if not dir_name.startswith(_TEMP_DIR_NAME)]
+        dirs[:] = [dir_name for dir_name in dirs if dir_name != _TEMP_DIR_NAME]

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@src/fosslight_binary/binary_analysis.py` around lines 195 - 197, Update the
directory filter in the traversal logic to compare each dir_name for exact
equality with _TEMP_DIR_NAME instead of using startswith, so only the tool’s own
temporary directory is skipped and similarly named user directories remain
traversable.
