Problem

The repo tree on main contained a webapp entry recorded as a gitlink (mode 160000) pointing at commit dac160403d46840febbcd9ab07546e76faa34c5f:

$ git ls-files --stage | grep 160000
160000 dac160403d46840febbcd9ab07546e76faa34c5f 0	webapp

That commit is not reachable anywhere on Gitea:

$ curl -I https://gitea.d-bis.org/d-bis/CurrenciCombo/commit/dac160403d...
HTTP/2 404

There is no .gitmodules registering it as a submodule either, so the gitlink is orphaned: git clone --recurse-submodules fails, CI cannot populate webapp/, and editors show an empty directory with no way to fix it without the missing commit.

Fix

git rm --cached webapp -- drop the dangling gitlink from the index. No other files touched.

Why this is safe

The Solace Bank Group PLC portal work on branch devin/1776532671-solace-bank-portal (#2) lives at the repository root (Vite/React/TS app), so webapp/ is no longer the intended home for the frontend regardless. If a webapp subtree is ever reintroduced it should be added properly -- either as a regular directory or as a gitlink with a matching .gitmodules entry.

No runtime code is affected by this change.
