Curious why this was moved below? IIRC the intention was this to raise early to avoid work processing the other arguments

Done in 93ec11f: moved it back to the top. It only needed to run before the new duplicate-column check, which it still does.
Address review feedback on the level validation.
The missing lower bound on negative levels was a symptom of a larger
gap: _reset_index never normalized `level` to level numbers, so it
passed raw labels down to _split_columns_by_levels. That made
reset_index(level=-1) a silent no-op on a MultiIndex (the frame came
back unchanged) and let underflowing levels such as level=-2 on a
1-level index through without an IndexError.
_reset_index now normalizes through the index's _level_index_from_level,
which cuDF already had but did not use here. This also fixes level
lookup by numpy integer and reports unknown level names as
KeyError("Level x not found") rather than a bare list.index ValueError.
MultiIndex._level_index_from_level becomes a faithful port of pandas'
MultiIndex._get_level_number: it rejects negative underflow, raises for
an ambiguous duplicate level name, and uses pandas' "Too many levels"
wording. droplevel() and set_names() share the helper, so
droplevel(-3) on a 2-level MultiIndex now raises instead of silently
dropping the last level. Index gains the flat-index counterpart, which
just defers to the existing _validate_index_level.
_check_duplicate_level_names is subsumed by the duplicate-name check in
_level_index_from_level, which matches pandas' message and, like
pandas, still allows duplicate names to be addressed by level number.
Also restore the allow_duplicates NotImplementedError to the top of
_reset_index so it raises before the other arguments are processed; it
still gates the duplicate-column check, which runs strictly later. The
duplicate-column message no longer reprs the label, matching pandas.

Accept NumPy integer level specifiers.
_validate_index_level uses isinstance(level, int), so valid values such as np.int64(0) on a flat index are treated as names and raise KeyError. Use the existing is_integer predicate, matching get_level_values.

Resolves a conflict in MultiIndex._level_index_from_level, which main rewrote in NVIDIA#23370 to fix the same negative-level wraparound. Keeps main's `norm` formulation and layers on the two things pandas' MultiIndex._get_level_number does that neither side had: distinct wording for underflow ("-3 is not a valid level number") versus overflow ("not 3"), and the ValueError for an ambiguous duplicate level name. Also restores _check_duplicate_level_names, which this branch had removed as unused. Main added two callers of it in the meantime (DataFrame.stack and reshape's unstack), and the textual merge took the deletion without conflicting.

pandas DataFrame.reset_index col_level out of bounds negative source implementation
💡 Result:
In pandas, the col_level parameter in DataFrame.reset_index is designed to specify the level into which index labels are inserted when a DataFrame has a MultiIndex for columns [1][2]. By default, it is set to 0, meaning labels are inserted into the first level of the column hierarchy [1][3]. Regarding the behavior with negative values or out-of-bounds inputs: 1. Out-of-Bounds/Negative Values: The implementation of col_level generally expects a valid level index (integer) or a level name (string) [1]. Providing a negative integer that exceeds the depth of the column index or an integer/string that does not correspond to an existing level will typically result in a ValueError or IndexError, depending on the underlying pandas version and internal validation checks for MultiIndex column structure. Pandas validates that the target level for the index labels exists within the current column structure. 2. Source Implementation Context: The col_level parameter logic is deeply tied to how pandas handles MultiIndex columns during index manipulation [4][5]. When you reset the index, pandas effectively promotes the index levels into the column space. The col_level parameter dictates the destination position within the existing column MultiIndex [4]. If the specified destination does not exist, the operation cannot complete because it cannot place the new labels into an invalid or non-existent structural level [5]. 3. Typical Error Patterns: Users encountering issues with col_level often find that the error is not inherently a bug in the parameter itself, but rather a structural mismatch between the intended insertion point and the actual dimensions of the column MultiIndex [5]. If you are seeing an out-of-bounds error, it is likely because the integer provided for col_level is higher than the number of levels currently in the column index (e.g., trying to place at level 5 in a DataFrame with only 2 levels). For robust code, ensure that your col_level matches an existing index level (0 to n-1, where n is the number of column levels) or provides a valid name, and consider using col_fill if you need to create or populate additional levels [1][6].

Normalize col_level before constructing MultiIndex labels.
When col_level is outside the column-level range, the tuple branch can create labels with the wrong length, and the scalar branch can drop the inserted name. Resolve col_level with _get_level (or equivalent) before this block. Preserve valid negative levels and raise for invalid levels or names. Add tests for -1 and out-of-range values.
