Markdown Table Formatting
Utility for fixing markdown table alignment and spacing. Normalizes column widths, ensures consistent padding, and preserves alignment markers.

Common Patterns
Status tables:
| Stage | Status | Branch |
| -------- | --------- | ------------ |
| build | Complete | loom/build |
| test | Executing | loom/test |
Configuration tables:
| Option | Default | Description |
| ----------- | ------- | --------------------- |
| timeout | 300 | Session timeout (sec) |
| auto_merge | false | Enable auto merging |
Right-aligned numbers:
| Item | Count | Total |
| ----- | ----: | ----: |
| Files | 42 | 500 |
| Lines | 1,234 | 5,000 |
Features
- Aligns columns to consistent widths
- Single-space padding for cells
- Preserves alignment markers (
