Maintenance: Prevent deletion of .kiro folder when running git clean command

[leandrodamascena]

Summary

Kiro was released some time ago and creates a folder called .kiro to store settings, session attributes, and more. Developers using Kiro and running git clean might inadvertently delete this folder, losing their settings.

Why is this needed?

Avoid removing developers custom configurations when using Kiro.

Which area does this relate to?

Automation

Solution

Add .kiro, .claude and .amazonq folder to .gitignore file.
