Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki d407527863 Untrack 189 regenerable artifacts and close the silent-ignore trap
Untracked (--cached, so they stay on disk): 76 LaTeX artifacts, 7 .xdv XeTeX
intermediates, 18 -eps-converted-to.pdf from epstopdf, 32 files of .NET
obj/Debug/net6.0 output including three copies of lab2.dll, 16 .class/.o, the
9 MB Nx cache with its native .node, and an entire committed Python
virtualenv at ECOTE/program/ecote (python 3.10.10, 18 files).

The existing 407-line LaTeX .gitignore was NOT unused as I first assumed --
it already covered *.aux and *.class, and the artifacts simply predate it. So
this appends the categories it missed (*.o, obj/, .venv/, .nx/, target/)
rather than rewriting something that was working.

The second half is the more interesting bug. Auditing with

    git ls-files | git check-ignore --stdin --no-index

found 130 files that were tracked AND ignored. That combination fails
silently: `git add` on such a file is not an error, the edit just never
lands. Causes were dist/ swallowing the vendored jQuery/Bootstrap bundle,
.vscode/ and .idea/, and -- the good one -- the LaTeX template's man-page
patterns *.[1-9] and *.[1-9][0-9] matching EPFU's date-named report
directories, so doc/21.11/ read as a man page section and took report.pdf
and seven screenshots with it.

32 of those 130 turned out to be more build output and were untracked too;
the rest got targeted ! overrides. The first attempt used a blanket
!NotProgramming/EMISY/** which re-enabled that course's own LaTeX artifacts,
so it is narrowed to the *.1 schematic exports that actually needed it.
TRAK's nested .gitignore excluded the .vscode DIRECTORY, which stops git
descending, so no root-level ! can reach inside -- that one had to be fixed
at its source.

Both invariants now verified: 0 tracked files ignored, and 0 of the 189
untracked artifacts leaked back into view.
