sop-checklist: merge PR#1284 blank-line skip into PR#1289 branch

Two fixes combined on one branch to avoid a conflict:

1. PR#1284 (section_marker_present): scan forward through blank lines
   before falling back to the backward checkbox search. Handles the
   ## Header\n\ncontent pattern where the answer sits two lines below
   the marker. Also uses body.rstrip() so the scan works correctly
   when the body ends with a trailing newline.

2. PR#1289 (section_marker_present): tighten the backward checkbox
   fallback — constrain it to the current line only (not a 2000-char
   window) and require meaningful content between the checkbox and the
   marker text, so that empty checkbox lines like
   `- [ ] **Marker**:` don't false-positive.

3. parse_directives return type: changed from list to
   tuple[list, list] (directives, na_directives) per PR#1263 guidance.
   Call sites updated to unpack [0].
