chore(gitignore): ignore Python bytecode caches#409
Merged
Conversation
`python -m py_compile scripts/Build-Registry.py` (run by the CI validate.yml workflow and during local registry-build verification) creates scripts/__pycache__/*.pyc, which was not ignored — a `git add -A` would stage it. Add a Python artifacts section (`__pycache__/`, `*.py[cod]`). Verified: after compiling, the artifact is classified ignored (!!) and no longer appears in `git status`.

Summary
The root
.gitignorehad no Python section, sopython -m py_compile scripts/Build-Registry.py— run by the CIvalidate.ymlworkflow and during local registry-build verification — leavesscripts/__pycache__/*.pycuntracked, where agit add -Awill stage it. (This happened during the #408 work and the artifact had to be manually unstaged.)Adds a Python artifacts section after the PowerShell block:
Verification
Reproduced the exact scenario in a clean worktree:
python -m py_compile scripts/Build-Registry.py→ createsscripts/__pycache__/Build-Registry.cpython-313.pycgit status --short→ shows onlyM .gitignore; the artifact does not appeargit status --ignored→ classifies it!! scripts/__pycache__/git check-ignore -v→.pycmatches__pycache__/, and a strayfoo.pycmatches*.py[cod]No other files touched.
