Specification: Ignore Python Cache Files

Problem

Running tests creates __pycache__ directories (e.g., scripts/__pycache__) that are not tracked by Git. This causes p10k (and other shell prompts) to indicate that the repository has untracked files.

Goal

Add __pycache__/ and other Python cache file patterns to the project’s .gitignore file to ensure they are ignored and do not trigger “untracked files” status.

Scope

• Modify .gitignore to ignore Python bytecode and cache directories.
• Verify that existing __pycache__ directories are not tracked.

Implementation Details

• Add common Python ignore patterns:
  • __pycache__/
  • *.py[cod]
  • *$py.class
