Subject: [PATCH] gitignore: scratchpad landmine patterns (session handoffs,
 agent dumps, run outputs, binaries) -- the 6a744ef near-miss: a stray bulk
 git add pushed a handoff file carrying the gitea credential; history
 force-rewritten same minute (5cde991), server-side the orphan lingers until
 gc -- credential rotation recommended regardless
