Migrate git hooks from Husky to Prek and refresh gitattributes

[Copilot]

Pull request

Proposed changes

Migrate Git hook management from Husky to Prek, update contributor docs, refresh .gitattributes using upstream snippet heads, and adjust link-checker exclusions for external timeouts.

• Hook configuration: added a Prek-compatible .pre-commit-config.yaml and wired npm run prepare to install hooks.
• Dependencies: removed Husky and added @j178/prek as the hook runner.
• Documentation: updated README/CONTRIBUTING/AGENTS to describe Prek setup and removed legacy Husky migration guidance.
• Repository hygiene: refreshed .gitattributes from upstream snippets and updated .lycheerc.toml exclusions for timeout-prone links.

Example configuration:

repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: prettier-check
        name: Prettier check
        entry: npm run check
        language: system
        stages: [pre-commit]
