- Remove unused 'import websockets.exceptions' from main.py (no reference
to websockets.exceptions.* anywhere in the file; all WS handlers use
broad Exception catches)
- Add .gitignore with __pycache__/, *.pyc, .venv/, and other standard
Python excludes so bytecode no longer shows as modified in git status
- Untrack all pre-existing __pycache__/*.pyc files via git rm --cached
