Add .vscode/ to .gitignore -- IDE Settings Should Not Be Tracked

Description

.vscode/settings.json is currently tracked in git. IDE settings are user-specific and should not be part of the repository. This can cause conflicts when team members use different editor configurations.

Requirements & Context

Add .vscode/ to .gitignore. Remove tracked .vscode files from git index. Add .vscode/launch.json example if needed.

Suggested Execution

Branch: ix/gitignore-vscode

Implement Changes

(1) Add .vscode/ to .gitignore (2) Remove .vscode/settings.json from git (3) Update .gitignore patterns (4) Document IDE setup separately

Test & Commit

Run git status, verify .vscode files are no longer tracked.

Example Commit Message

ix(gitignore): remove IDE-specific .vscode/ directory from version control

Guidelines

• Use git rm --cached to untrack files
• Provide example .vscode configuration separately
