[self-audit D-M16] Findings are gitignored in checkout installs but committed in npm installs #259

Description

@TheAmericanMaker

Source: 2026-09-11 self-audit of v0.19.5 (commit f6f8484), finding D-M16 in the reconciled review; raw finding mech 6.8.
Severity: medium · Disposition: port differently · Evidence: observed fact

Location

.codecarto/.gitignore:1-13.

Defect

In a checkout, every findings output is ignored, so status.yaml says a phase is complete while a fresh clone has no report. In npm installs (D-H7) there is no ignore file at all. Two clones of the same project can disagree.

Proposed fix

Pick one policy (findings committed by default, documented opt-out) and apply it on both install paths.

The reimplementation spec carries this as a normative rule with a named acceptance scenario.
