Problem
Windows users face ESLint linebreak-style errors on fresh clone
because Git on Windows auto-converts LF to CRLF on checkout.
This causes npm run lint to report thousands of errors on Windows
without the contributor changing a single line of code.
Fix
Added .gitattributes to enforce LF line endings across all
platforms so npm run lint passes on Windows, Linux and macOS
without any manual intervention.
