-# This directory holds internal-only material: design notes,
-# decision records with deliberation context, working drafts of
-# documents that have not yet graduated to the public docs/ tree,
-# session bootstraps for collaborators, and anything else that is
-# part of how evo-core gets made rather than what evo-core is.
-#
-# Public repository documentation (README.md, DEVELOPING.md,
-# CHANGELOG.md, GAPS.md, the docs/ tree) is for vendors adopting
-# the framework. Internal deliberation lives here, never
-# committed.

-# The trailing slash is deliberate: it excludes the directory and
-# everything below it without affecting an unrelated file that
-# might happen to share the basename.
+# This block excludes per-machine settings, project memories,
+# caches, and rule files for every coding-assistant tool. The
+# concern is two-fold: (1) per-user / per-machine settings
+# (allowlists, model preferences, auth state) leaking into the
+# public repo, and (2) project-memory files containing context
+# that does not belong in the public source tree. JetBrains AI
+# assistant subdirectories are already covered by the `.idea/`
+# rule above. When in doubt, keep AI-tool artefacts out of this
+# repo.
