[BUG] Accidentally-committed largefile.bin (13MB) and pr_body.md in repo root #1200

🐛 Describe the bug

Two unrelated files were accidentally merged into main via PR #491 ("fix: preserve favorites history cap"): a 13MB binary file (largefile.bin) and a leftover PR description file (pr_body.md). Neither belongs in the repo and neither is referenced anywhere in the codebase.


🔁 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/itzzavdhesh/VoiceForge.git
  2. Look at the repo root
  3. See largefile.bin and pr_body.md sitting there, unused

✅ Expected Behavior

The repo root should only contain files that are actually part of the project - source code, config, docs, etc. No stray binary blobs or leftover PR drafts.


❌ Actual Behavior

largefile.bin (13MB of random binary data) and pr_body.md (a PR description for an unrelated "auto-recloning recovery flow" feature) are tracked on main, adding unnecessary weight to every clone/fork with no functional purpose.
