/**
 * Load local lint rules from `.chant/rules/`.

 * Scans for `.ts` files in the nearest `.chant/rules/` directory found by
 * walking up from `projectDir` (stopping at the closest `package.json` to
 * avoid leaking into unrelated parent projects). Dynamically imports each
 * file and collects all exports that conform to the LintRule interface.
 *
 * @param projectDir - Directory the lint command was invoked against. May be
 *                     a sub-stack of a larger project — the rules dir is
 *                     resolved by walking up.
 * @returns Array of LintRule objects found in the discovered `.chant/rules/`.
