   Hey @PaulRBerg! Thanks for reporting this.

   We've implemented a fix that renders YAML frontmatter as a styled metadata card at the top of the plan, rather than showing it as raw text.

   What it looks like now:

   • Frontmatter is parsed and displayed in a clean card with a muted background
   • String values show as key-value pairs
   • Arrays (like tags) render as colored pill badges

   This will go out in the next release. If you'd prefer a different approach (e.g., hiding frontmatter entirely, different styling, etc.), let us know and we can adjust before the release ships!

   Fixed in #45
