chore: ignore the per-machine Claude Code state, not the reviewable half - #21

Conversation
These paths are per-machine: a session handoff, one machine's permission grant, and where present the throwaway checkouts a subagent runs in. Untracked and unignored, the first permission grant on any other checkout makes `git status` report a change that is not one — a standing false finding in an instrument whose whole value is that a finding means something. Scoped rather than blanket: `.claude/settings.json` is reviewable configuration and stays trackable if this repository ever adds one.

What
Ignore
.claude/sessions/,.claude/settings.local.jsonand.claude/worktrees/.Why
These are per-machine: a session handoff, one machine's permission grant, and — where present —
throwaway checkouts of this repository that a subagent runs in.
Left untracked and unignored, the first permission grant on any other checkout makes
git statusreport a change that is not one. That is a standing false finding in aninstrument whose whole value is that a finding means something, and it is currently
reproducing: this repository reads dirty to
git statuswhile its working tree is in factclean.
Why not
.claude/wholesale.claude/settings.jsonis reviewable configuration — a hook nobody can read is a hook nobodycan correct — so it stays trackable if this repository ever adds one. Only the paths that can
never be reviewed are ignored.
