squad(224): consolidate identity/now.md — move metadata to YAML front-matter

[mpaulosky]

Summary

Resolves the format inconsistency in .squad/identity/now.md where updated_at lived in the YAML front-matter while focus_area and active_issues were formatted as quasi-YAML in the Markdown body.

Closes #224

Changes

• Moved focus_area and active_issues into the YAML front-matter block alongside updated_at
• Removed the quasi-YAML key:value pairs from the Markdown body
• Updated focus_area and active_issues values to reflect current work queue (Squad maintenance: consolidate identity/now.md (remove YAML/Markdown duplication) #224, Squad maintenance: audit all member charters for completeness (Identity/Expertise/Boundaries/Critical Rules) #226, docs: fix markdown format and link violations across all *.md files #227)
• Updated updated_at to today

Decision

Chose YAML front-matter only for machine-readable fields — updated_at, focus_area, active_issues are all metadata and belong in the front-matter. The Markdown body retains only human-readable narrative content.
