 * Config Protection Hook
 *
 * Blocks modifications to linter/formatter config files.
 * Agents frequently modify these to make checks pass instead of fixing
 * the actual code. This hook steers the agent back to fixing the source.
 *
 * Exit codes:
 *   0 = allow (not a config file, or first-time creation of one)
 *   2 = block (existing config file modification attempted)
