 // YAML/frontmatter parsing + typebox validation
 
+/**
+ * Split a markdown string with `---`-delimited YAML frontmatter into its
+ * data and content parts.
+ *
+ * Rules (per architecture spec):
+ * 1. Opening `---` must appear at the very start of the string (optional BOM
+ *    or leading whitespace on line 1 is stripped first, but the opening
+ *    delimiter must still be the first non-whitespace content).
+ * 2. Only exactly three dashes (`---`) qualify as a delimiter — four or more
+ *    (`----`) are NOT delimiters.
+ * 3. The closing delimiter must be `\n---` (i.e. a newline followed by three
+ *    dashes). A closing `---` without a preceding newline is not valid.
+ * 4. Content body begins after the closing `---` plus its trailing newline.
+ *
+ * @returns `{ data, content }` when valid frontmatter is found, or `null`
+ *          when the input has no valid frontmatter block.
