Code Review

The pull request correctly adds support for *.BUILD.bazel files to the bash runner script. However, for completeness and consistency, two areas should be addressed. Firstly, the corresponding Windows runner script, buildifier/runner.bat.template, has not been updated to include this new file pattern. This will lead to inconsistent behavior across different operating systems. Secondly, it would be beneficial to add a test case to buildifier/integration_test.sh to verify that files matching *.BUILD.bazel are correctly processed. This will help prevent future regressions.

To improve readability and future maintainability, it's helpful to group similar patterns. I suggest reordering the BUILD file patterns to group wildcard suffixes together.

    -o -name '*.BUILD' \
    -o -name '*.BUILD.bazel' \
    -o -name 'BUILD.*.bazel' \
    -o -name 'BUILD.*.oss' \
