config/config.php was gitignored and devs had to copy it from
config/config.php.example on every fresh clone. Since the bootstrap
config reads everything from .env via $envString() / $envInt() /
$envBool() defaults, there is nothing developer-specific in the file —
the cp step was dead ceremony.
- Remove config/config.php from .gitignore and track it directly
- Delete config/config.php.example
- Drop the example-existence + per-doc reference checks from
bin/docs-drift-check.sh; add a legacy-pattern check that flags
any new mention of the removed example file
- Update ConfigContractsTest to require config.php and forbid the
example
- Clean stale references in CLAUDE.md, README.md, six docs files,
and the core-guardrails skill
Same commit slims README down from 294 to 47 lines: one setup
checklist (now 3 commands instead of 4), the seeded login table,
the three quality-gate commands, and pointers to CLAUDE.md and
docs/index.md for everything else.
