+### Features
+
+- **`.packignore`** — keep build artefacts out of the shipped asset pack.
+
+  A pack root is packed wholesale, so everything a model or texture pipeline leaves
+  beside its output ships too: preview renders, bake intermediates, the `.blend` a
+  `.gltf` came from. Nothing errors and nothing looks wrong — the app is just bigger
+  than the game. The only way out was naming every file in `package.ludic`, a list
+  that goes stale the day someone adds a texture.
+
+  Put a `.packignore` beside the assets instead. The rules are **gitignore's**, down
+  to the parts people rely on without thinking about them: patterns anchored by a
+  slash or floating without one, `preview/` for directories only, `*` and `?` stopping
+  at a separator where `**` crosses it, `[a-z]` classes, `!` re-includes with the last
+  line winning, a deeper file beating a shallower one, and no re-including out of an
+  ignored directory.
+
+  `ludic pack` reports what it left out, and `--no-ignore` packs everything so you can
+  see what a rule costs. `ludic bundle` gathers the same way. `.packignore` itself is
+  never packed, and the file only governs your own roots — a package's resources, such
+  as the renderer's shaders, are added afterwards and cannot be excluded by accident.
