Research direction

Inspect the tracked pycache/ directories and src/diff_contract.egg-info/ entries, then review the repository’s Python build artifacts. Create .gitignore coverage for those artifacts, remove them from tracking, and verify with git ls-files | grep -E '(pycache|egg-info)'; finish by running the tests and CI checks.

Description

good first issue

Problem

__pycache__/ directories and src/diff_contract.egg-info/ are tracked in git. These are Python build artifacts that should not be committed.

What's needed

Remove all __pycache__/ directories from tracking
Remove src/diff_contract.egg-info/ from tracking
Create .gitignore to prevent re-adding

Acceptance criteria

git ls-files | grep -E '(__pycache__|egg-info)' returns nothing
.gitignore covers Python build artifacts
Tests and CI remain green
