Lifecycle-drift validation — work-dependency and milestone-completion checks

Add the remaining v1 drift checks from SPEC-119 that key on dependency and milestone-membership evidence rather than the spec↔work edge: a work item still blocked after all its blockers finished, and a milestone marked complete while it still has open members. Complements the spec-side checks in WORK-513, reusing the same helpers and reporting plumbing.

    plan: add v0.30.0 milestone — lifecycle validation & render-stack remova

Acceptance Criteria

  • plan validate emits stale-blocked (warning) for a work item with status=blocked whose ## Blocked by targets are all achieving-terminal
  • plan validate emits milestone-complete-with-open-work (warning) for a milestone with status=complete that has ≥1 assigned item which is non-terminal
  • Both predicates use the isTerminal/isAchieving helpers from SPEC-117; no status set is re-declared in validate.ts
  • stale-blocked reads dependency edges via the SPEC-114 directed ## Blocked by model (not prose {% ref %} mentions or ## References)
  • No warning fires for a milestone with zero assigned items, or a blocked item with no ## Blocked by targets
  • --strict promotes the new warnings to errors
  • Each new issue type has a fixture-backed unit test (positive and negative case)

Approach

Work↔work linkage is the SPEC-114 directed ## Blocked by graph; milestone membership is the milestone attribute. Follow the check/reporting shape established in WORK-513 (shared helpers from enums.ts, same issue-emission path in validate.ts). These are the two non-spec v1 checks; the v2 set (retired-spec-live-work, terminal-spec-no-work, false-ready, milestone-done-not-complete) is deliberately deferred by SPEC-119 until the v1 warnings are proven non-noisy, and is out of scope here.
