Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: the adjective 'clear' simply qualifies 'alignment' to mean an obvious or apparent agreement. This adjective+noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and does not involve idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to understand it.
Etymology
The phrase clear alignment may come from the simple image of arrows, people, or lines all pointing the same way. Because clear means easy to see and alignment means lined up, that picture helps explain why the phrase means 'obvious agreement' or a shared goal.
