What's Wrong?

When Claude Code creates a .claude/settings.local.json file, e.g. because I allowed it to always run go build commands in my project, that local settings file is not being added to my project's .gitignore file.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should add .claude/settings.local.json to my .gitignore when it creates the local settings file. I think this is a regression, because the documentation here says:

.claude/settings.local.json for settings that are not checked in, useful for personal preferences and experimentation. Claude Code will configure git to ignore .claude/settings.local.json when it is created.

And yet, that's not what's happening.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Claude Code in a project without a .claude/settings.local.json file
2. Do something that causes CC to create the local settings file, e.g. give it permission to run some kind of command without asking you
3. Note that the local settings file is not added to .gitignore
