test(stewardship): add comprehensive test suite for Layer 2 stewardship

35 test cases covering all five public functions:
steward_align (pass-through, all five misalignment signals, empty input,
json_get field extraction, redirect shape), steward_validate_imprint
(standard tools, platform-only tools with/without platform_auth,
auth=false string), steward_cgi_check (all four gated actions, non-gated
actions, empty action, action name echoed in response), and
steward_get_mission (non-empty, contains "integrity", not an error object).

Also documents the known bug surface from the code review: the &&
operator in steward_get_mission and the non-Config fallthrough — tests
are written against the actual runtime behaviour so they will catch
regressions when those bugs are fixed.

// tests/test_stewardship.el Test suite for stewardship.el (Layer 2)
//
// El has no native test framework. Tests are El programs that call functions
// and assert using if/println. Each test case prints PASS or FAIL with a label.
// The test runner calls run_tests() at entry.
//
// Coverage:
// steward_align pass-through, each misalignment signal, empty input
// steward_validate_imprint standard tool, platform tools w/ and w/o auth
// steward_cgi_check every gated action, non-gated (chat)
// steward_get_mission returns non-empty string containing "integrity"
// json_get on steward_align result field extraction sanity
