# What Claude should not spend context on.
#
# EXCLUDE ARTIFACTS, NEVER THE RECORD. `docs/` is load-bearing: the Command
# Center reads this repository's documents at a commit, `DOC_TRUST_MAP.md` says
# which document owns which answer, and `docs/qa/ClaudeReport.md` is parsed for
# the sentence shown on the project screen. A generic ignore file that sweeps
# "documentation" or "data" starves both the agent and the reconcile, and the
# failure is silent -- everything still runs, it is just working blind.
#
# Same for the tracker: nothing here is a substitute for it.
