Obsidian vaults commonly store wikilinks in frontmatter fields:
Area: "[[My Hub]]"
Links:
- "[[Doc A]]"
- "[[Doc B]]"
Previously, the parser stripped frontmatter before the regex pass,
making these links invisible to the link graph, broken link detection,
and backlink counts.
The fix adds a dedicated frontmatter scan between Phase 1 (pulldown-cmark)
and Phase 2 (body regex) that extracts [[wikilink]] and ![[embed]] patterns
from the raw YAML text using the same regexes as the body pass. Found links
are appended to the existing wikilinks/embeds vectors, so downstream graph
resolution and health analysis work without any changes.
Changes:
- Add parse_frontmatter_wikilinks() method to ParseEngine
- Call it from parse() when frontmatter exists and wikilinks are enabled
- 12 new tests covering all frontmatter link scenarios
No changes to turbovault-graph, turbovault-tools, or any other crate.
