chore: add security .gitignore entries#2
Conversation

Review Summary
This PR adds security-focused .gitignore entries to prevent committing sensitive files. The approach is sound, but 3 critical issues must be addressed before merge:
Critical Issues:
- Overly broad wildcard patterns (
*credentials*,*secret*) will accidentally ignore legitimate source code files, potentially excluding critical application code from version control - Redundant pattern creates maintenance overhead
- Missing newline at EOF violates POSIX standards and breaks tooling compatibility
Please address these blocking issues to ensure the .gitignore functions correctly without accidentally excluding legitimate code files.

🛑 Security Risk: The wildcard patterns *credentials* and *secret* will match files in all directories and could accidentally ignore legitimate code files. For example, files like user_credentials_validator.py, secret_manager.py, or credentials_test.go would be ignored, potentially excluding critical application code from version control.

🛑 Logic Error: Line 29 is redundant since line 28 already ignores the entire .idea/ directory. This duplication creates maintenance overhead and potential confusion.

🛑 Critical Defect: Missing newline at end of file violates POSIX standards and can cause issues with line-based tools (grep, diff, git) and shell processing. Many CI/CD systems and linters enforce this requirement.

Scope secret filename globs to concrete artifacts
The wildcard rules *credentials* and *secret* ignore any new file whose name contains those substrings, including non-sensitive source/docs (for example, credential helpers or secret-management docs), so those files will never show up in git status and can be silently omitted from future commits. Restrict these patterns to known secret file names/locations (or extensions) so legitimate project files are still trackable.
