[housekeeping] : `.vscode/` editor settings and `tsconfig.tsbuildinfo` build cache are committed to git

[prince-pokharna]

Describe the bug

Two categories of generated/machine-specific files are tracked in the repository:

File/Directory	What it is	Why it should not be tracked
.vscode/	VS Code workspace settings	Forces editor preferences on contributors using Cursor, IntelliJ, Neovim, or any other editor
tsconfig.tsbuildinfo	TypeScript incremental compilation cache	Auto-regenerated on every tsc build; contains machine-specific absolute paths; causes spurious diffs on every compile

tsconfig.tsbuildinfo in particular causes unnecessary diff noise in PRs for any contributor who runs npm run build locally, as TypeScript updates it with the local machine's absolute path.

Proposed Fix

git rm --cached .vscode/
git rm --cached tsconfig.tsbuildinfo

Add to .gitignore:
Editor settings (use .editorconfig for shared rules)
.vscode/
.idea/
TypeScript build cache
*.tsbuildinfo

Labels: housekeeping, good first issue
