What

Untracks libs/openant-core/generate-context.report.json — a run artifact committed in PR #446 — and adds it to .gitignore. Closes #666.

Why

The file is a developer's test output (a macOS scratch path in inputs.repo_path, cost_usd: 0.010293, a 2026-09-03 timestamp), not source. The generate-context step writes its report beside the selected output file, and the output defaults to the CWD (cli.py:469-473), so any generate-context run from the core tree — including a failing one (the config-resolution error fires inside step_context, which finalizes the report with status: error) — rewrites the tracked file and dirties the checkout.

The issue's executed repro proved it: a failing run (a nonexistent --llm-config) rewrote the tracked file, changing its status from success to error, one git add -A away from committing a fresh run's numbers.

The fix

Two lines: git rm the tracked copy + .gitignore the filename. The report continues to be written (the step-context contract is unchanged) — it just stops being source.

Leak-scan note

The diff-scan flags the deleted file's committed /var/folders/... path (a block-tier finding). That path is in the deletion lines — the very content this PR removes from source. The scanner correctly found it; the fix is its remedy.

Testing

No test changes — a pure git-hygiene fix (the tracked-file removal doesn't affect any test path). The full suite runs identically before and after.

Fixes #666

…source) (#666)

The report lands beside the selected output file, and the output defaults
to the CWD (cli.py:469-473) — any generate-context run whose working
directory is the core tree, including a failing one (the config-
resolution error fires inside the step_context), rewrites the tracked
file and dirties the checkout. The committed copy is a developer's
2026-09-03 test run (a /private/var/folders path, cost_usd: 0.010293).

Fix: git rm the tracked copy + .gitignore the filename. The report
continues to be written (the step_context contract is unchanged) — it
just stops being source.

Fixes #666

Status: ON HOLD — do not merge.

The adversarial review (2026-09-22) found defects in this PR that need rewriting before it can merge. The specific finding is in the review record. The PR is being rewritten; the current branch and all evidence are preserved.

The previous .gitignore contained only a comment — no pattern. The
deleted file would be re-tracked on the next generate-context run.
This adds the actual filename as the ignore pattern.

Fixes the gitignore half of #666 (the cli.py CWD-default half is out of scope — named).

A sibling-sweep note from the triage pass: runA-388b.log (118 bytes, tracked at master since #388) is the same run-artifact-tracked-as-source class this PR untracks for generate-context.report.json. A one-line follow-up (untrack + ignore) would close the class completely — happy to land it here or as a follow-up, maintainer's call.

Hold lifted at 7e7b909: the containment hold (2026-09-22 10:41Z) is superseded — the branch now carries the actual .gitignore pattern (generate-context.report.json, git check-ignore verifies the match on the PR tree) and the file is untracked. CI 19/19. The runA-388b.log sibling noted earlier is inert scratch (118 bytes, committed in #388, nothing writes or reads it) — a one-line git rm candidate that stays maintainer's call per the earlier offer, not folded into this branch.
