-# IMPORTANT: This .patch directory is permanent and should NEVER be removed or added to .gitignore
-#
-# Purpose: Maintains comprehensive diff documentation for all implemented PRs
-# Each PR gets a numbered subdirectory (e.g., .patch/573/, .patch/586/, .patch/629/, .patch/633/)
-# containing all modified files' diffs and a summary document
-#
-# This serves as:
-# - Historical record of all implemented features
-# - Reference for code review and understanding changes
-# - Permanent documentation alongside git history
-# - Audit trail of project modifications
-#
-# Policy: .patch directory is ALWAYS KEPT and maintained across all branches and operations
-# Never delete this folder or its contents during development, merging, or any git operation
-# 
-# Protection Mechanisms:
-# 1. .gitkeep ensures folder is always tracked in git
-# 2. .gitattributes ensures proper file handling
-# 3. pre-commit hook prevents accidental deletion
-# 4. .patch/README.md provides detailed documentation
-# 5. .PATCH-PROTECTION-POLICY.md sets explicit rules
