Track a general spec.coding-agent-lab.md variant-spec convention#12
Merged
Conversation
Add one .gitignore negation (courses/*/spec.coding-agent-lab.md) so any course can carry a tracked variant of its canonical spec.md for exploring a Decision Ledger change, without a per-experiment .gitignore edit. Update CLAUDE.md and README.md's version-control notes to match. Ships the agent-memory course's first use of the convention: a variant that removes Oracle AI Database as a build-time Options entry in Ledger rows D14 (persistent store) and D5 (environment), while keeping the course's actual use of Oracle as provenance elsewhere in the spec.
