Update specialty.home-cooking.instructions.md to define local-profile precedence and keep embedded YAML as reference examples Add .gitignore rule to prevent local home-cooking profile YAML files from being committed Align home-cooking specialty behavior with the current session intent: move sensitive household configuration to local-only files while preserving future-reference examples in tracked docs Notes: No session snapshot file was found in documentation/project-history, so Why context was derived from the active task request and staged diff. No TODO or RESTART NOTE markers were found in the staged files. No BREAKING CHANGE detected (no compose port or volume path modifications).
