Lands the
.gitignorefollow-up that PR #29's "Out of scope" section deferred. Adds two patterns covering the Python bytecode cache (__pycache__/,*.pyc) thatscripts/sweep_poll.pygenerates whenever it's compiled or imported during local validation. The cache directory was always meant to be transient, but without a.gitignoreit kept tripping the stop-hook as an untracked file.Minimum-scope intentionally — no
.venv/,.idea/,.DS_Store,*.egg-info/, etc. Patterns can be added later when a real need surfaces. The branch ischore/gitignore-pycache(notclaude/sweep-*orclaude/prose-*), so all three required checks green-skip via their gate steps; a top-level/.gitignorewould otherwise be rejected by both envelope allowlists.Verification
rm -rf scripts/__pycache__ && python3 -m py_compile scripts/sweep_poll.py && git statusreports the working tree clean, confirming the ignore pattern catches the generated artifact.
