Turn off, or exclude more

In .gitvow/policy.json or ~/.gitvow/policy.json:

"snapshots": {"enabled": true, "max_per_session": 200, "exclude": [".env*", "*.pem", "*.key", "*secret*", "*credential*", ".gitvow/**", ".claude/**"]}

exclude patterns are git pathspecs applied on top of .gitignore; add your own for anything that must never enter a snapshot.
