ENG-2640: Remove duplicate cursor config files and update .gitignore

[JadeCara]

Ticket ENG-2640

Description Of Changes

Remove cursor configuration files that are now managed in the shared ethyca/cursor repo and update .gitignore to ignore symlinked cursor directories (rules, skills, plans, scripts). Commands remain tracked as repo-specific files.

Code Changes

• .cursor/rules/general.mdc - Removed (duplicate of shared cursor repo)
• .cursor/rules/sensitive-info-protection.mdc - Removed (duplicate of shared cursor repo)
• .gitignore - Added .cursor/rules/, .cursor/skills/, .cursor/plans/, .cursor/scripts/ ignores

Steps to Confirm

1. Verify .cursor/commands/ files are still tracked: git ls-files .cursor/
2. Verify rules/skills directories are gitignored: git status should not show them as untracked
