docs: add YAML frontmatter to all 151 markdown files
Adds title, description, type, domain, and tags frontmatter to every
doc for improved KB semantic search. The description field is prepended
to every search chunk, and domain/type/tags enable filtered queries.

Type values: context, guide, runbook, reference, troubleshooting
Domain values match directory structure (networking, docker, etc.)

# Python Patterns
## Project Structure
- Use virtual environments (venv)
- Implement proper package structure with `__init__.py`
- Separate configuration from code
- Use requirements.txt for dependencies
## Code Organization
- **MVC/MVT patterns** for web applications
- **Factory pattern** for object creation
- **Context managers** for resource handling
- **Async/await** for I/O-bound operations
## Error Handling
- Use specific exception types
- Implement proper logging with levels
- Graceful degradation for external dependencies
- Validation at API boundaries
## Performance Considerations
- Use generators for large datasets
- Profile before optimizing
- Leverage caching appropriately
- Consider async for concurrent operations
