Complete TDD implementation of core MarkiTect functionality:
**Database Module (markitect/database.py):**
- DatabaseManager class with SQLite database initialization
- markdown_files table with proper schema (id, filename, front_matter, content, created_at)
- Front matter storage as JSON with content separation
- File storage, retrieval, and listing methods
- Comprehensive error handling
**Front Matter Module (markitect/frontmatter.py):**
- FrontMatterParser class with YAML front matter parsing
- Clean separation of metadata from markdown content
- Graceful handling of invalid YAML and missing front matter
- Regex-based parsing with proper delimiter handling
**Dependencies:**
- Added PyYAML for front matter parsing
- Updated pyproject.toml with new dependency
**Test Coverage:**
- 9 comprehensive tests covering all functionality
- Database initialization and schema validation
- Front matter parsing with Issue #1 example content
- Integrated workflow testing (storage/retrieval)
- Error handling for edge cases
**TDD Process:**
- RED phase: 8 failing tests defining requirements
- GREEN phase: Minimal implementation making all tests pass
- Validation: Complete workflow verified with example content
This implementation provides the foundation for all subsequent MarkiTect
features, handling the exact example from Issue #1 specification.
