frontmatter: a comment line between a key and its block list produces a misleading error #84
Description
Why it matters
Writing
tags:
# content words only
- low-polyyields tags: null plus line N: list item without a key above it, which sends the contributor looking at the wrong line. The template encourages comments, so this will happen.
Evidence
site/lib/frontmatter.mjs:88-93peeks at the next line without skipping blank or comment lines.
Suggested approach
Skip blank and # lines when looking ahead for the block list; add a test.
Done when
The example above parses to ["low-poly"].

Hi! I'd like to work on this. I'll update the lookahead in site/lib/frontmatter.mjs to skip blank and # comment lines, and add a test so the example parses to ["low-poly"]. Could you assign it to me?
