Problem

lab generates machine-specific build artifacts under .hero/ in every Hero repo:

.hero/build_map.json — contains absolute repo_root path (machine-specific, breaks on other machines)
.hero/build_report.json — build output report
.hero/build_report.md — human-readable build report
.hero/build_logs/ — build logs

These files are not read by anything downstream (confirmed by searching the codebase). Committing them causes:

Noisy diffs on every build
Broken paths when the repo is checked out on a different machine (different repo_root)

Fix

Add .hero/ to .gitignore in every Hero repo, or add it once to the global gitignore template used when initialising repos.

hero_slides already does this correctly with .hero in its .gitignore.

Why not global gitignore

Per-user ~/.gitignore_global only covers individual machines. The per-repo .gitignore is the right place so it is enforced for all contributors.

Action

For each repo under lhumina_code/ that uses lab to build: add .hero/ to .gitignore.

## Problem `lab` generates machine-specific build artifacts under `.hero/` in every Hero repo: - `.hero/build_map.json` — contains absolute `repo_root` path (machine-specific, breaks on other machines) - `.hero/build_report.json` — build output report - `.hero/build_report.md` — human-readable build report - `.hero/build_logs/` — build logs These files are not read by anything downstream (confirmed by searching the codebase).
