Cleanup Temporary Files Plan

Problem

The pre-commit hook check-added-large-files failed because backend/temp_index.json and hub_index.json are staged. These are temporary files generated during CrowdSec Hub integration and should not be committed to the repository.

Plan

1. Remove Files from Staging and Filesystem

• Unstage backend/temp_index.json and hub_index.json using git restore --staged.
• Remove these files from the filesystem using rm.

2. Update .gitignore

• Add hub_index.json to .gitignore.
• Add temp_index.json to .gitignore (or backend/temp_index.json).
• Add backend/temp_index.json specifically if temp_index.json is too broad, but temp_index.json seems safe as a general temp file name.

3. Verification

• Run git status to ensure files are ignored and not staged.
• Run pre-commit hooks again to verify they pass.

Execution

I will proceed with these steps immediately.
