//! YAML-style frontmatter parsing for `.tmpl.md` files.
//!
//! Extracts template metadata (name, description, typed variable declarations)
//! from the `---`-delimited block at the start of a template source string.
//!
//! ## Frontmatter v2 format
//!
//! Uses `=` for name-type pairs, `<>` for type parameters, `:=` for defaults:
//!
//! ```text
//! ---
//! name: my_template
//! params:
//!   - name = str
//!   - count = int := 42
//!   - tasks = list(title = str, priority = int)
//! ---
