Reorganize template structure and enhance pre-commit workflow

Major changes:
- Reorganized repository: moved framework files to template/ directory
- Enhanced pre-commit with 12+ new quality checks
- Added JSON and YAML auto-formatting
- Added commit message validation hook
- Implemented CI caching for 40-80s faster builds
- Created comprehensive SETUP.md guide
- Maintained triple-layer secret detection (defense-in-depth)
- Updated README.md with commit-msg hook installation
- Removed temporary documentation files

New pre-commit hooks:
- File validation: check-toml, check-added-large-files (1MB limit)
- Filesystem: check-case-conflict, check-illegal-windows-names
- Script integrity: check-executables-have-shebangs, verify permissions
- Symlink validation: check-symlinks, destroyed-symlinks
- Git protection: forbid-new-submodules
- Formatting: pretty-format-json, yamlfmt, fix-byte-order-marker
- Security: commit-msg hook for message validation

CI improvements:
- Pre-commit environment caching
- Pip caching
- 7-day artifact retention

All pre-commit checks passing.
