Summary
The repo root contains a file named `.gitattribute` (singular). Git only reads `.gitattributes` (plural) — so the existing file is a silent no-op.
The file's contents:
```
Generated
uv.lock linguist-generated=true
```
…clearly intend to flag `uv.lock` as generated for GitHub Linguist, but that intent is not currently in effect.
Reproduction
```console
$ git check-attr linguist-generated uv.lock
uv.lock: linguist-generated: unspecified
```
After renaming to `.gitattributes`:
```console
$ git check-attr linguist-generated uv.lock
uv.lock: linguist-generated: true
```
Change
A single `git mv .gitattribute .gitattributes` — no content changes.
Novelty
`gh search prs/issues --repo modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk gitattribute` returned no existing PR or issue about this. The misspelled name was introduced in #1459 and has remained since.
