Release v1.2.0: Enhanced discoverability and user experience

Major improvements:
- Strategic emoji integration throughout documentation for better scannability
- "At a Glance" comparison table showing benefits vs traditional CoCs
- Enhanced README structure with visual organization and table of contents
- Comprehensive quality tools: markdownlint, pre-commit hooks, EditorConfig
- Visual adoption flow diagram with Mermaid flowchart
- Improved package.json metadata with better keywords for discoverability
- Versioning system for policy document with changelog integration
- Enhanced pull request template with quality assurance checklists

Technical improvements:
- Line endings standardized to LF with .gitattributes
- Pre-commit configuration with markdown table formatter and validation
- GitHub Actions workflow with separate linting and verification jobs
- Consistent formatting rules via EditorConfig for cross-editor compatibility

The policy maintains its focus on reduced distraction environments while becoming more discoverable and easier to adopt.
