A frontmatter `summary:` list written as a multi-line flow sequence
(one bullet per line, closing bracket on its own line — the natural
way to hand-write several sentences) used to vanish: no line in it
has a colon or a leading `-`, so the parser read none of the lines
after the opening `summary: [` and the field ended up holding a
literal "[". Even written on one line, `flow_list_items` split on
every comma, which cuts a prose bullet in two if it has one of its
own.
`Header` now has a `summary: Vec<String>`, read by a parser that
joins a flow sequence's continuation lines before splitting it on
commas outside of quotes, so each bullet survives whole. Also added
`summary: []` to the bundled scene template and the in-app default
new-file template, so new scenes offer the field.
No new UI surfaces this yet (corkboard/synopsis still show only the
slug) — out of scope for the parsing fix itself.

Completes the move off the external cookiecutter tool: drops
src/cookiecutter.rs and the cookiecutter_bin/Template-path setting now
that scaffolding always runs through the built-in MiniJinja engine,
and rewrites default_project_template() to walk up from the executable
without panicking when the bundled template can't be found. Rounds
out the snowflake template with the remaining 06-Revisions,
07-Final, 08-Covers and 09-Archive folders.
Simplifies the scene/chapter YAML frontmatter (drops type/word_count_min/
word_count_max in favor of status + a flat characters list) and updates
the new-file template, header parsing, outline, file list and Story
Bible editor to match.
Separately, de-duplicates the toolbar and menu bar: settings that only
existed as always-visible toolbar controls (draft marker, zero-pad,
spell-check toggle, dictionary picker) move into their Settings
windows, toolbar buttons that exactly duplicated a menu item are
dropped, and toolbar-only actions with no menu path (open project
folder, git sync/init) gain one under File. Also fixes two ambiguous
menu labels: the Story Bible editor now reads "Story Bible editor…"
next to "Story Bible…" in Tools instead of sharing a label with Edit,
and Settings' "New project…" is now "New-project settings…" so it
doesn't read like File's actual create action.

- Everything after YAML frontmatter closing --- is now considered the draft content
- No ### Rough Draft: marker needed
- Chapter titles are handled by the program on export based on file order
- Draft content should not include chapter titles
- Updated default_new_file_template to use YAML frontmatter
- Updated preprocess.rs to parse YAML frontmatter for metadata
- Updated all relevant tests
- Updated documentation in help.rs
- Updated template files

- Add YAML frontmatter support with split_yaml_frontmatter() in preprocess.rs
- Update create_scene_pair to create single merged files with YAML frontmatter
- Rename 06-First Draft to 05-First Draft and merge with 05-Plot content
- Update default_project_open_subdir to '05-First Draft'
- Add capitalizes filter to MiniJinja environment for template rendering
- Fix template placeholder escaping in CONSISTENCY.md
- Update all references from 06-First Draft and 05-Plot to 05-First Draft
- Update test expectations to match new folder structure
The merged approach uses YAML frontmatter (--- delimiters) at the top of
each draft file to store planning metadata, allowing it to be collapsed
in the editor while keeping all planning and draft content in one file.
