This PR stops tracking IntelliJ IDEA project files and ignores the .idea/ directory going forward.

Why

This repository is public, and sharing IDE project files causes unnecessary friction across different contributor setups. In practice, .idea/ contents are influenced by:

different IntelliJ IDEA versions
different installed plugins
different operating systems
different local paths and machine-specific settings

Sharing IDEA configuration can work in controlled environments where everyone uses the same tooling and conventions. In a public open source repository, though, it tends to create more problems than it solves.

What changed

added .idea/ to .gitignore
removed currently tracked .idea/ files from version control

The cleanup was done as an index-level untracking step locally before commit creation. The goal is to stop versioning IDEA project files in the repository going forward.

Note

Contributors with existing clones should be aware that previously tracked .idea/ files may be removed from their working tree when they pull this change.
