August 2025 — docker/cagent: Repository hygiene improvements focused on preventing leakage and noise from local development artifacts. Implemented comprehensive gitignore hygiene to exclude vendor dependencies, local environment configs (.env.local), and Claude local settings, via three commits that added and refined ignore rules. No critical bugs fixed this month; the work reduces risk, accelerates onboarding, and improves CI reliability. Technologies demonstrated: Git best practices, .gitignore strategy, environment/config management.
