…tories Two small gitignore additions to prevent accidental commits of transient / local-only content: ## drop/ — Aaron's human-drop folder Repo-root `drop/` is Aaron's ferry-space for handing content to the agent (research reports from Amara via ChatGPT, notes, transfer artifacts, drafts). Pattern: 1. Aaron drops a file in `drop/` 2. Agent checks at session wake, reads content 3. Agent absorbs into proper substrate (`docs/aurora/`, `docs/research/`, `memory/`) with provenance header 4. Raw drop file stays local / transient Committing raw drop files would ship chat-artifact citation markers, draft fragments, and other noise that shouldn't appear in the clean in-repo form. Gitignoring the directory keeps the ferry loop lightweight. Pattern documented in per-user memory: `feedback_drop_folder_ferry_pattern_aaron_hands_off_via_root_drop_dir_2026_04_23.md`. ## .playwright-mcp/ — MCP scratch logs The Playwright MCP server writes per-session console logs and ephemeral scratch to `.playwright-mcp/` at repo root. Regenerated every session, never source. This was already present in one of the in-flight PR branches' .gitignore; landing it on main via this hygiene branch so it merges independently of those PRs. ## What this does NOT do - Does NOT remove the existing `drop/` content — that's Aaron's folder to manage - Does NOT affect other ferry mechanisms (PR comments, Slack, email) — those are separate patterns - Does NOT change absorption policy — signal-preservation discipline on ingest still applies Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Investigated markdownlint failures across 7 demo-cluster PRs (#141/#145/#146/#147/#142/#143/#144). Scoped back on per-PR fixes in favor of a higher-leverage next-tick move: either land #151 (gitignore drop/ on main) or fix the MD056 tick-history row on main — both would unblock the whole cluster in one move. No new PRs this tick. Honest partial-execution per the prefer-progress-over-quiet-close discipline — documenting the unblock-vector rather than pushing through with inefficient per-PR fixes.

Summary
Small gitignore additions for two transient/local directories that shouldn't ship:
drop/— Aaron's ferry-space for handing content to the agent (Amara's transfer report, notes, etc.). Pattern: drop → absorb into proper substrate → raw file stays local. Preserves signal cleanliness in committed form..playwright-mcp/— Playwright MCP per-session scratch logs.Why lands separately
Each in-flight PR has its own gitignore changes queued but can't reach main until merge. Landing these two on main independently gives base-level coverage regardless of merge order.
