- Fixed .gitignore to correctly handle __pycache__ even when inside whitelisted directories (like tests/).
- Moved pycache ignore patterns to the end of the file to ensure they take absolute precedence over any directory-level whitelists.
- Purged all previously tracked .pyc and __pycache__ files from the git index.
- Cleaned up .hypothesis and .pytest_cache artifacts.
This enforces 'Militärische Git-Disziplin' (Rule 7) and keeps the repo clean of environment-specific junk.
