-- 2026-10-04 `config.yml` stays out of git and the Docker build context (closes
-  #212): `.gitignore` now ignores `config.yml`, the config file Getting Started
-  creates with the signing key, and `.dockerignore` leaves it out in every
-  directory and in any letter case, as it already did `config.yaml` and
-  `config.dev.yml`.
-- 2026-10-04 local config files stay out of the Docker build context (closes
-  #211): `.dockerignore` now leaves out `config.yaml` and `config.dev.yml` in
-  every directory and in any letter case, the local config files `.gitignore`
-  keeps out of git because they can hold the signing key.
-  `configs/config.example.yml` is still sent. `config.yml`, which Getting
-  Started creates, is in neither file:

-- 2026-10-04 `cmd/pixad/main.go` is one call into `internal/` (closes #206):
-  what it did (the command line and its `--config` flag, setting
-  `PIXA_CONFIG_PATH`, ignoring `SIGPIPE`, starting the fx app) is now `Run` in
-  `internal/app`, unchanged, and `main` calls it with `Version`, which the build
-  still sets through `-X main.Version`. That code had no tests to move.
-- 2026-10-04 `.gitignore` ignores `.claude/` (closes #204): the entry and its
-  comment are copied from the canonical `.gitignore` in `sneak/prompts`,
-  unanchored so it matches at every depth. `.dockerignore` already has
-  `.claude`.
 - 2026-10-04 load test (closes #81): `script/loadtest [duration [clients]]`
   (`make loadtest`, defaults `10s` and `4`), a benchmark that `script/check`
   does not run, measures three scenarios, each against a new pixad container and
