Research direction

Inspect the repository's tracked .DS_Store files and the .gitignore entry point first. Use the linked removal guidance to untrack and remove the existing files, then ensure .DS_Store is ignored; done means no such files remain tracked and future ones are ignored.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

.DS_Store files are not supposed to be in a git repo. They are supposed to be ignored by git using .gitignore. There are multiple such files in this repo. Please refer to a thread such as this one.
