📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated the .gitignore pattern for Python bytecode cache directories from a top-level-only match (/__pycache__/*) to a recursive pattern (**/__pycache__/**), enabling the rule to ignore __pycache__ directories at any depth in the repository.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Configuration .gitignore	Modified Python bytecode cache pattern from /__pycache__/* to **/__pycache__/** to recursively match __pycache__ directories at any directory depth, addressing untracked cache files in subdirectories like lib/tools/common/__pycache__/.

Poem

A rabbit hops through nested trees,
Where Python caches dance with ease,
With \\/\\pycache\\/\\ in place,
No bytecode clutter mars the space! 🐰✨
