Subject: chore(hooks): skip out-of-tree .el files in validate-el.sh

This PostToolUse hook validates .el edits via check-parens and byte-compile-file. It was firing on edits to files outside the project root too, which meant byte-compiling without the foreign package's load-path set up and leaving .elc droppings in the wrong tree. Added a four-line PROJECT_ROOT guard so out-of-tree files exit silently.
