`make docs-auto` should ignore editor temp files and stuff.
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhance make docs-auto to exclude editor temp files such as Kate swap files; maintainers are still comparing patterns across several editors.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The report remains valid: common.mk only excludes the virtual environment and generated command reference, while the maintainer reports that Kate swap files trigger rebuilds during every edit. Maintainers are still deciding which patterns to cover across Vim, Neovim, emacs, Kate, and VS Code, so the improvement should remain open for a consolidated ignore list.
