BCApps' .gitignore lacked patterns for the Copilot/Claude agents and skills symlinked in from C:\depot\BC-agentic-workspace, so they showed up as untracked noise in git status. Ignore the managed symlink targets (.claude and .copilot skills/agents/rules/commands/instructions/hooks, .github agents/prompts/instructions, copilot-instructions.md) and the merged MCP configs, while keeping the repo's own tracked .github/agents/EngSys-VersionChange.agent.md.

Why
When a developer adds their personal Copilot/Claude agents and skills to BCApps (under
.claude/,.copilot/, and.github/agents), these files show up as untracked entries ingit status, cluttering the working tree and risking accidental commits of personal tooling. Our ADO repo already follows the practice of placing agents and skills under.gitignore; this change brings the same convention to BCApps.Summary
.gitignorepatterns for personal AI tooling folders:.claude/and.copilot/skills/agents/rules/commands/instructions/hooks, and.github/agents/prompts/instructions pluscopilot-instructions.md..mcp.json,.vscode/mcp.json)..github/agents/EngSys-VersionChange.agent.mdvia an!re-include, so the blanket.github/agents/rule does not untrack it.Fixes AB#640172
