/**
 * Extract unresolved entries from a UAT file's `## Gaps` section (#2286).
 *
 * `## Gaps` records open findings as a YAML-lite bullet list (see
 * `templates/UAT.md`'s `## Gaps` block: `- truth: "..."` followed by indented
 * continuation lines `status:` / `reason:` / `severity:` / `test:` / etc.,
 * and — for `artifacts:` / `missing:` — a further-nested `- ` sub-list).
 * `parseUatItems`'s `### N.` test-block regex never looks at this section at
 * all, so a UAT file whose only outstanding findings live in `## Gaps` was
 * silently invisible — the false-negative this fix addresses.
 *
 * Reuses the existing `collectSection` seam (already used elsewhere in this
 * file for `## Current Test` / `## Tests`) to locate the section. Field
 * extraction is deliberately NOT done via `iterateBullets`: that seam folds
 * every continuation line onto ONE space-joined `text` string per bullet,
 * which erases line boundaries — a `key:` scan against that flattened text
 * matches the FIRST `key:`-shaped substring anywhere, including one that
 * happens to appear inside an EARLIER field's own quoted free-text value
 * (e.g. `truth: "The status: resolved workflow should trigger"` — a real
 * `status: failed` on the next line would never be reached, silently
 * DROPPING a genuinely open gap — the exact false-negative class #2286
 * exists to fix, so the fix must not reintroduce it). `splitGapsEntries` /
 * `extractGapEntryFields` below instead walk the section PER LINE and only
 * recognise a field at the START of its own (trimmed) line, so a `key:`
 * embedded inside another field's quoted value can never be mistaken for a
 * field declaration.
 *
 * Every entry whose `status` is present and NOT `resolved` (case-insensitive)
 * is surfaced — mirroring the "ignore passing/resolved" convention already
 * used for `### N.` test blocks (`result: pass` is never surfaced) and the
 * VERIFICATION table-row PASS/resolved skip (`hasPassResult`, below). An
 * entry with NO parseable `status:` field is surfaced too, as `result:
 * 'unknown'` — #2286 is a false-NEGATIVE bug, and a `## Gaps` entry only
 * exists to record an outstanding finding (a template-conformant RESOLVED
 * entry always carries an explicit `status: resolved`); a garbled or
 * non-conformant entry is far more likely to be an unresolved finding whose
 * `status:` line failed to parse than a genuinely resolved one, so the
 * fail-safe direction is to surface it rather than silently drop it.

 * Normalize a single `human_verification:` frontmatter array entry (#2286)

 *
 * #2286 review (LOW finding): `extractFrontmatter`'s generic array-item
 * parser (`src/frontmatter.cts`, the `line.trim().startsWith('- ')` branch)
 * has NO notion of nested key/value objects — regardless of whether the
 * source YAML was authored as `- test: "..."` (an implied-but-unsupported
 * shorthand) or `- "plain string"`, it ALWAYS pushes the raw post-`- ` text
 * (with only a single layer of wrapping quotes stripped) as a plain string.
 * There is therefore no reliable signal here to distinguish a genuine
 * `key: value`-shaped pseudo-field from a legitimate plain string that
 * itself happens to start with a word and a colon (e.g. `"Confirm: the
 * button responds"`). A prior version of this function stripped a leading
 * `word:` prefix on the assumption it was always a flattened nested-object
 * key — that assumption is false, and it silently truncated real plain-string
 * content. No such stripping is applied: any residual wrapping-quote noise
 * left by `extractFrontmatter`'s own (anchor-only) quote handling is cleaned
 * up, and everything else is preserved verbatim.
