Update readiness checks: ignore read-only items

Is there a way to define the folder unrelated to the core or vendor directory as ignored for the check and update process?

I am also looking for a way to ignore a folder.

We are using the host provider Namecheap, and the company usually has a folder called .nc_plugin which is present in all their host plans.

This folder .nc_plugin is making my site to fail update readiness checks with the following message,

Your site does not pass some readiness checks for automatic updates. It cannot be automatically updated until further action is performed.

RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/home/username/.nc_plugin): Failed to open directory: Permission denied

I spoke with the host support about .nc_plugin and they said,

"The .nc_plugin directory in cPanel/WHM is associated with Namecheap's custom plugins and features that are integrated into the cPanel environment. This directory typically contains files and configurations related to the specific functionalities provided by Namecheap, such as SSL management, backup solutions, or other enhancements that are exclusive to Namecheap customers.

If you are managing a cPanel account and notice the .nc_plugin directory, it is generally best to leave it intact, as it is crucial for the proper functioning of Namecheap's custom features. Modifying or deleting files within this directory could disrupt the services and tools provided by Namecheap."

This means I shouldn't delete the folder nor modify its permissions.

The safe way for me then should be to tell Automatic Updates to ignore it. So far I have not been able to do that.
