# T-1435: gitignore publish-learning-bus.log and pending-updates.yaml (runtime working-memory files)

## Context

Two runtime-generated files under `.context/working/` appear as untracked in every
session, polluting `git status`:

- `.publish-learning-bus.log` — append-only activity log from
  `lib/publish-learning-to-bus.sh` (one line per `channel:learnings` broadcast)
- `pending-updates.yaml` — per-machine state for `fw pending` (blocked cross-project
  ops like U-001 waiting on TOFU clears)

Both are machine-local, regenerated on demand, and have never been tracked in git
(verified via `git log --all --oneline -- <file>`). The existing
`.context/working/.gitignore` already ignores similar volatile files
(`.tool-counter`, `session.yaml`, `focus.yaml`, `tier0-approval`) — just missing
these two newer runtime artifacts.

L-176 warns against gitignoring `.context/` or `.tasks/` wholesale — this change
adds two targeted entries inside the existing working-memory .gitignore, which is
the established pattern.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] `.context/working/.gitignore` contains `.publish-learning-bus.log` entry
- [x] `.context/working/.gitignore` contains `pending-updates.yaml` entry
- [x] `git status --short` no longer shows either file as `??` untracked

## Verification

grep -q '^.publish-learning-bus.log$' .context/working/.gitignore
grep -q '^pending-updates.yaml$' .context/working/.gitignore
! git status --short | grep -q '.publish-learning-bus.log'
! git status --short | grep -q 'pending-updates.yaml'
