Subject: [PATCH] chore: ignore developer_instructions.txt (contains production
 credentials, Gitea admin password, secrets)

This ensures the sensitive file is never accidentally staged or pushed, even with 'git add .' or similar commands.

The file remains locally for developer reference (as described in the document itself).
