the moment you ask a question in the codex plugin chatbox it commits a .codex file in the root of my repo, I cannot leverage this file nor do I wan tto add it to git ignore, this started happening in the march 28th version and it is pretty annoying , either give me a way to move the file out of my repo, turn off itsd usage or giv e me a way to actuallyleverage the content of the file and addit to my repo as ausefull file, Thanks !

What steps can reproduce the bug?

ask a question int he chat box inside a working repo

What is the expected behavior?

it shodlnt commit that file at all, oir if its a reqwuired file it shoudl let me move it out of my repo, but its a zero byte file it contains nothign, because it serves me no purpose this file shoudlnt be in my repo noir shoudl I have to add it to gitignore everytime a plugin wishes to commit files.
