+# Fix: Explicit .gitignore entry for paper-dynasty service credentials
+
+## Problem
+Issue #40 in cal/paper-dynasty-discord: confirm `storage/paper-dynasty-service-creds.json` (Google Sheets service credential file referenced at `cogs/gameplay.py:120`) is not tracked by git.
+
+## Verification
+- `git ls-files storage/` returned empty — no storage files tracked
+- `.gitignore` already had `storage*` (line 133) covering the directory
+
+## Solution
+Added explicit entry to `.gitignore`:
+```
+storage/paper-dynasty-service-creds.json
+```
+
+This sits alongside the existing `storage*` pattern, making the intent unambiguous for this sensitive credential file even if the broader pattern changes in the future.
+
+## Files Changed
+- `.gitignore`
