/**
 * /api/timeline?from=1940&to=2026&class=event&limit=200
 *
 * Returns events sorted by date_start from wiki/entities/events/*.md frontmatter.
 * No DB required — pure filesystem read of YAML frontmatter.
 *
 * Optional filters:
 *   - from / to: ISO dates or year strings (e.g. "1947" or "1947-06-24")
 *   - class:     "event" | "uap_object" | "operation" (default: event)
 *   - limit:     1..500 (default 200)
 *   - q:         substring match in canonical_name or narrative_summary
