Parse Brainstorm Metadata

function parseBrainstormFile(filepath) {
  const content = fs.readFileSync(filepath, 'utf8');
  const lines = content.split('\n');
  
  // Extract metadata
  const title = lines.find(l => l.startsWith('#'))?.replace('#', '').trim();
  const sessionId = lines.find(l => l.includes('Session ID'))?.split(':')[1]?.trim();
  const date = lines.find(l => l.includes('Date:'))?.split(':', 2)[1]?.trim();
  const status = lines.find(l => l.includes('Status:'))?.split(':')[1]?.trim();
  const decision = lines.find(l => l.includes('Decision:'))?.split(':')[1]?.trim();
  
  // Get summary (first paragraph after metadata)
  const summaryStart = lines.findIndex(l => l.includes('## Original Concept'));
  const summary = lines[summaryStart + 1]?.substring(0, 100) + '...';
  
  return {
    file: filepath,
    title,
    sessionId,
    date,
    status,
    decision,
