Subject: [PATCH] Align .gitignore with DelphiStandards template.

Replace the minimal ignore list with the curated Delphi GitIgnore v2.0
and keep DEC-specific entries (Compiled, BuildAll.log, backup, .codegraph).

+# Delphi .gitignore (Curated)
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# IMPORTANT: This file must be renamed to ".gitignore" (without .txt extension)!
+#
+# This carefully curated .gitignore file is specifically optimized for
+# Embarcadero Delphi development environments, supporting both legacy and
+# modern versions.
+#
+# USAGE:
+# 1. Copy this file to the root directory of your Git repository
+# 2. Rename from "Delphi GitIgnore.txt" to ".gitignore"
+# 3. Make project-specific adjustments if needed
+#
+# This file ignores:
+# - Compiler and build output (e.g., .dcu, .exe, .dll)
+# - IDE-generated metadata and user-specific files (.dsk, .local)
+# - Backup and recovery files
+# - Platform-specific output directories
+# - Known version control systems and Delphi-specific tools
+#
+# License: MIT License https://opensource.org/license/mit
+# Version: 2.0 (keep in sync with Style Guide headers)
