Prettier had no excludes for venv/__pycache__/.mypy_cache/.pytest_cache/htmlcov,
so any local Python virtualenv in the tree drops thousands of third-party files
into `pnpm format:check` and makes the gate unpassable in a working checkout
(observed: ~2400 files from an untracked apps/coordinator venv).
Same category as the existing node_modules/dist/.next entries. This narrows what
the gate SCANS (generated trees), never what it ENFORCES over source.
Found while making the three gates pass honestly for the remediation mission's
TASK-0, rather than reaching for --no-verify.
