lev-align — Project Alignment Validator

Loads .lev/validation-gates.yaml from project root, checks current work against all applicable gates, and reports structured pass/fail/warn per gate.

On Load

1. Find .lev/validation-gates.yaml via project root discovery (walk up from cwd)
2. Parse gates into sections: checks, architecture_compliance, sdk_first_compliance, spec_invariants
3. Classify which gates apply to current work context based on:
   • Module being touched (path → spec → invariants)
   • Work type (feature, bugfix, refactor, sdk_pass_through_refactor)
   • Tier classification (T1-T4 based on path patterns)
