Update runtime state and ignore generated media and analytics

Runtime state written by the app: session checkpoint, used-topics history,
regulars, intern lookups, voicemails, publish state through episode 58, and the
website clips index.

Also ignores what should never enter history: clips/, music/, mlx_models/,
remotion-demo/ and social_posts/ come to roughly 13 GB of media and model
weights, and data/costs.db is a binary SQLite database that cost_tracker
rewrites on every LLM call — committing it would attach a multi-megabyte delta
to future commits. cost_reports/ and avatars/ are regenerable, and reaper/peaks/
is a waveform cache.

Everything about The Wellspring sounds just slightly too good to be true. He talks about communal living, 'shedding the false self,' radical honesty, 'body acceptance ceremonies,' 'the Unbinding' (a monthly ritual he describes vaguely but enthusiastically), and a philosophy he calls 'The Current' which seems to be a mix of Buddhism, Burning Man, and a swingers' convention. He's never defensive about the cult accusations \u2014 he laughs them off and says 'people fear what they don't understand, brother.' When pressed on anything weird, he has a perfectly reasonable-sounding explanation that somehow makes it sound weirder. He low-key tries to recruit the host and listeners every single call. He'll casually drop the website or say 'we're always welcoming new seekers.' He's the kind of guy you'd follow into the desert if you weren't careful. Energy level: medium, centered, grounded. When pushed back on, he smiles (you can hear it) and says something like 'I respect that, I really do' before gently continuing. Conversational tendency: making the insane sound reasonable."
