 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-09-21: added the canonical `.editorconfig`, made `.gitignore` cover
+  secrets, OS, editor, and Go artifacts, and removed the dead Drone CI
+  references from `.gitignore` and `bin/gitrev.sh` (#72)
 - 2026-08-09: added `.prettierrc`/`.prettierignore`, gave `script/fmt` and
   `script/fmt-check` one shared prettier file set via `script/prettier`, dropped
   the `|| true` that hid prettier failures, and added a node-based Dockerfile
