Find Git-tracked files that ignore rules miss

Adding a path to .gitignore does not remove an already tracked file from Git's index. That mismatch can leave local configuration, generated outputs or a dummy .env fixture tracked unexpectedly.

Unlock a read-only, NUL-safe inventory utility, an executed reproduction and a response checklist separating ordinary cleanup from an actual credential incident. It lists names only and never reads file contents.

Scope: repositories accessible to your local Git account. This audits the current index against current ignore rules; it does not prove that all branches, tags, hosting copies or old commits are clean. Verified 18 October 2026. #Git #RepositoryHygiene
