Subject: [PATCH] Ignore application/cache but keep index and .htaccess

Update .gitignore to exclude all files under /application/cache while whitelisting /application/cache/index.html and /application/cache/.htaccess. This prevents committing transient cache files but preserves placeholder and access-control files needed to keep the directory and settings in the repo.
