Build the frontmatter engine with byte-perfect round-trip

Yams validates and reads; writes are surgical line-span edits over
retained raw text, so untouched bytes — unknown keys, comments, odd
formatting, bodies — round-trip identically by construction. Strict
schema/order readers distinguish valid/missing/malformed for the
loader's fail-fast; lenient fields preserve malformed values verbatim;
modified-by is schema-owned. Adds the Yams package and the fixture
folder-reference wiring. 44 tests (105 cases).
