Git index corruption resolved.

What happened:

• The Git index file (.git/index) was corrupted, causing the "bad signature 0x00000000" error.

What I did:

1. Removed the corrupted index file
2. Rebuilt it with git reset --mixed HEAD

Current status:

• Repository is working
• Modified files: yt/StreamGames.xlsx and yt/rainysrambles_scramble_editorsNotes.md
• Some untracked files in "The Giant's Father" directory

You can continue with normal Git operations.
