Description

### Description
A 2.3MB compiled Go binary, `test_dup_import` (ELF 64-bit, statically linked, unstripped), is checked into the repository root and tracked in git. It was flagged by the 2026-09-15 UK AI Resilience weekly review as a commit-hygiene gap alongside a secret-validation PR — compiled artifacts shouldn't be committed to `main`.

### Expected Impact
Removes a stray 2.3MB binary from repo history going forward, prevents repo bloat, and closes an automation commit-hygiene gap (a build output landed in a commit instead of being gitignored).

### Suggested Fix
Delete `test_dup_import` from the working tree and add a `.gitignore` entry (or equivalent pattern) so future builds of this test artifact aren't accidentally committed again.

### Suggested Agent
New Agent (small cleanup PR) or code-simplifier

### Estimated Effort
Quick (< 30 min)

Research direction

Start at the repository root by confirming the tracked `test_dup_import` artifact and reviewing the existing `.gitignore` patterns. Remove the binary and add an appropriate ignore entry for this test artifact, then verify that the binary is no longer tracked and future builds cannot accidentally re-add it.
