+/**
+ * The files vigiles writes into a project's `.vigiles/` that describe ONE
+ * checkout on ONE machine — and the `.gitignore` that keeps them out of git.
+ *
+ * `.vigiles/` holds two kinds of file. Some are the project's own and are
+ * committed: hook sources and their stamps (`hooks/`), eval locks
+ * (`eval-locks/`), providers, the eval baseline, spec sidecars. The rest are a
+ * record of what happened HERE — which run exercised which surface, which skill
+ * is active right now, when a throttled hook last spoke — and committing one
+ * transplants that record onto a machine where none of it happened. A committed
+ * `coverage.json` credits coverage nobody ran; a committed `state/` silences a
+ * teammate's hook for a window they never saw; a committed `guard-ledger.json`
+ * satisfies a `requireBefore` guard with a prerequisite someone else ran.
+ *
+ * ## Why this file exists
+ *
+ * The rule "do not commit these" lived as one sentence in
+ * `docs/rules/untested-skill.md`, and vigiles honoured it only in its OWN repo's
+ * root `.gitignore`. Consumers committed them anyway: two repos carried
+ * `.vigiles/coverage.json` for weeks, one built a `merge=ours` git driver to
+ * paper over the conflicts it caused, and the other shipped `coverage.json` and
+ * `runs.jsonl` inside its npm tarball. A rule that exists only as prose enforces
+ * nothing, so the writer now enforces it where the write happens.
+ *
+ * ## The mechanism: a `.gitignore` INSIDE `.vigiles/`
+ *
+ * Tools that keep local state in a project leave the project's root
+ * `.gitignore` alone and drop one inside their own directory — `ruff` writes
+ * `.ruff_cache/.gitignore` containing `*`. `*` is wrong here, because the same
+ * directory holds committed files, so the file lists the local paths instead,
+ * each anchored with a leading `/` so it cannot match a same-named file deeper
+ * down. It also lists ITSELF, like ruff's `*` covers its own file: it then
+ * leaves no footprint in the project's history and never churns on upgrade.
+ *
+ * `.gitignore` does not untrack a file that is already tracked. That half is
+ * `local-files-tracked.ts`, which runs from the CLI only — it spawns `git`, and
+ * nothing here may, because {@link ensureLocalFilesIgnored} is called from hook
+ * runtimes on the decision path.
+ *
+ * ## One list, and the constants live IN it
+ *
+ * Every writer imports its file name from here rather than spelling it, so a
+ * name cannot drift from the ignore entry. The constants were defined in their
+ * writer modules before; the direction is inverted on purpose. With the list
+ * importing from the writers, each writer would import this module back (for
+ * the ensure call), a cycle in which a top-level list reads a `const` still in
+ * its temporal dead zone — and a hook deciding a `Bash` call would load
+ * `eval.ts` and `coverage-artifact.ts` just to learn two file names. This module
+ * imports nothing from the package, so every writer can depend on it for free.
+ * `local-files.test.ts` guards the other direction: every `.vigiles/` path the
+ * source spells must be either on this list or on {@link COMMITTED_PATHS}.
+ *
+ * Node-only (it reads and writes a file).
