The .planning/ directory accumulated 485 per-release scratch files
(phase reports, QA findings, ad-hoc backlogs) across the v1.4.x line.
These were useful during the immediate work but aren't load-bearing
for anyone outside that window — they crowd the repo tree and clog
git grep results. Untracking keeps them local for active sessions
without removing them from git history.
The curated planning docs stay tracked: PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md,
STATE.md, ios-coord/V054-server-apns-mood-report.md, the v15-* release
planning set, the sb-* architectural notes, the research/ deep-dives,
and the in-flight feature briefs.
.gitignore patterns added so future scratch files land outside the
repo from the start:
/.planning/phase-*
/.planning/QA-*
/.planning/round-*
/.planning/v14*-*
/.planning/V0*-*
/.planning/ios-coord/V*-QA-*
/.planning/research/v14*-*
/docs/ios/ (in-flight spec drafts)
