org-node-seq--goto-previous* failed

[cuprum]

I have decided to experiment with daily notes. Below is my current configuration (using Elpaca):

(use-package org-mem
  :ensure t
  :custom
  (org-mem-watch-dirs '("d:/@Yrs/Saves/test-org-node"))
  (org-mem-do-warn-title-collisions nil)
  :config
  (org-mem-updater-mode))

(use-package org-node
  :ensure t
  :after org
  :custom
  (org-node-backlink-do-drawers nil)
  (org-node-alter-candidates t)
  (org-node-seq-defs (list
                      (org-node-seq-def-on-filepath-sort-by-basename
                       "d" "Dailies" "d:/@Yrs/Saves/test-org-node/_dailies/" nil t)))
  :bind
  (("M-s M-f" . org-node-find)
   :map org-mode-map
   ("M-s M-i" . org-node-insert-link))
  :config
  (org-node-cache-mode)
  (org-node-seq-mode))

Entries are created successfully after invoking org-node-seq-dispatch and pressing d, j. However, when I attempt to navigate to the previous entry using d, p, I encounter an error:

Hi, does the error happen again after you saved the new daily to disk and did a M-x org-mem-reset?

[cuprum]

Hi. Yes, that is correct. The error persists after saving the new daily to disk and executing org-mem-reset.
Output is Org-mem saw 32 files, 1454 headings, 2019 links (68 IDs, 38 ID-links) in 1.78s + 0.00s caching org-node-seqs.
The value of the variable org-node-seqs is

((#2="d" :name "Dailies" :version 2 :capture nil :classifier
     #f(compiled-function (node) #<bytecode 0x1ce5a358b8bf4064>) :whereami
     #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode -0x689ccb6b020f5f1>) :prompter

     #f(compiled-function (sortstr key) #<bytecode -0x16b29b9a909800a7>) :key
     #2# :sorted-items nil))

I hope this detail proves helpful.

I renamed the _dailies directory to dailies and updated the corresponding path in org-node-seq-def-on-filepath-sort-by-basename. Following this change, the error no longer occurs.
It appears that directories prefixed with an underscore are systematically excluded from indexing. As stated in the docstring for org-mem-exclude:

... "/_" are hard-coded, so removing them here has no effect for now.

That's how it is.
