nathan 4fea668d47 docs(home-cooking): add local PII profile file guidance
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).
