User Story

As a platform operator
I want ArgoCD Image Updater to auto-deploy new images on merge
So that the merge → CI → Harbor → ArgoCD pipeline works end-to-end without manual intervention

Context

.gitignore contains k8s/.argocd-source-* which blocks ArgoCD Image Updater from committing its write-back file. The Image Updater detects new tags in Harbor but fails with:

`git add .../k8s/.argocd-source-pal-e-docs.yaml` failed: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files

This breaks the entire auto-deploy pipeline. PR #161 required manual kubectl set image to deploy.

File Targets

Files the agent should modify:

.gitignore — remove the k8s/.argocd-source-* line

Files the agent should NOT touch:

Everything else

Acceptance Criteria

.gitignore no longer contains k8s/.argocd-source-*
ArgoCD Image Updater can commit write-back files on next cycle

Test Expectations

No tests needed — this is a config fix
Verification: check Image Updater logs after merge for successful write-back

Constraints

One line removal only
Do not add the .argocd-source-*.yaml file itself — Image Updater creates it
