🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed

Hardcoded Personal Identifiable Information (PII) in the TransactionForm.tsx component. Famous Filipino names were used as mock data, which violates privacy best practices and could be mistaken for real data.

⚠️ Risk: The potential impact if left unfixed

Hardcoding PII in source code increases the risk of data leakage and non-compliance with data protection regulations. It also sets a poor precedent for data handling in the codebase.

🛡️ Solution: How the fix addresses the vulnerability

  1. Anonymization: Replaced identifiable names with generic placeholders ('Patient A', 'Patient B', etc.).
  2. Externalization: Moved mock data out of the UI component and into a dedicated client/src/mocks/patients.ts file, separating concerns and making it easier to manage mock data centrally.
  3. Repository Hygiene: Added a .gitignore file and removed __pycache__ artifacts to ensure no sensitive or unnecessary environment-specific files are committed.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 4998066076975879802 started by @alfieprojectsdev

- Externalized mock patient data to `client/src/mocks/patients.ts`.
- Anonymized patient names (e.g., 'Patient A', 'Patient B') to eliminate hardcoded PII.
- Updated `TransactionForm.tsx` to use the anonymized external mock data.
- Added a root `.gitignore` to exclude build artifacts and Python cache files.
- Removed accidental `__pycache__` artifacts.
