chore: post-release polish -- badges, rules, and changelog date

- Add GitHub badges (stars, forks, issues, license, tests, pre-commit)
  to README.md matching the warestack/platform repo style
- Enable changelog requirement and unresolved comments rules in
  .watchflow/rules.yaml so Watchflow enforces its own new conditions
- Mark PR #59 as released (2026-03-01) in CHANGELOG.md

 GitHub governance that runs where you already work. No new dashboards, no “AI-powered” fluff—just rules in YAML, evaluated on every PR and push, with check runs and comments that maintainers actually read.
 
 Watchflow is the governance layer for your repo: it enforces the policies you define (CODEOWNERS, approvals, linked issues, PR size, title patterns, branch protection, diff scanning, review thread SLAs, signed commits, and more) so you don’t have to chase reviewers or guess what’s allowed. Built for teams that still care about traceability and review quality.
