February 2025: Implemented repository hygiene improvement by updating .gitignore to exclude KiCAD/EDA transient lock files (.lck). This prevents these files from being tracked, reducing noisy diffs, and avoiding accidental commits of build artifacts. The change improves CI stability and maintains a clean project history. Commit reference: f8f5633b03499d5f53f0b84c6364b5e86c527133.
