Removes the tracked credential files. They are kept on disk, but they must not
be in the repository: player_auth.json holds a live auth_code, player_id and
server_url.
removed from tracking: player_auth.json, src/player_auth.json,
working_files/player_auth.json
Also fixes the ignore rules for the player's runtime state, which were being
reported as untracked and would have been committed:
- .player_heartbeat is rewritten every 10 seconds, so committing it creates
endless noise and merge conflicts on every machine.
- .player_stop_requested is transient session state.
- logs/startup_marker.txt and the various log outputs are runtime artifacts.
While doing this I found that the existing ignore entry was spelled
".player_heartbear" - a long-standing typo, so the heartbeat was never actually
ignored. The correct patterns are now present; the typo is left in place with a
comment so nothing changes unexpectedly for existing clones.
Note the deliberate exceptions, both tracked on purpose:
- windows/webview2_sdk/ - build.spec bundles those DLLs, so a fresh clone
needs them or web links silently fall back to the Chrome/Edge engine.
- windows/webview2_runtime/MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe (~1.7 MB) - so a
machine without the WebView2 Runtime can install it on first start. The
~203 MB offline standalone installer stays ignored; fetch it with
webview2_runtime/download_runtime_installers.ps1 -Offline when building for
machines that have no internet.
- New windows/ directory with build scripts, specs, and configuration
- Windows-specific requirements (requirements_win.txt)
- Launch and runtime scripts for Windows (run_win.py, launch_player.bat)
- PyInstaller build configuration (build.spec)
- Updated .gitignore to exclude windows/venv312/
- Updated config and source files for Windows compatibility
- Moved working_files to proper directory
