Constrained the metadata key definition to r'[ \t]*[^\s:\r\n][^:\r\n]*', ensuring keys cannot match colons or newlines and cannot backtrack across key/value delimiters. Kept simple single-line values bounded by [^\n]*\n?. Simplified to r"^-[ \t]*([^\n]*)(?:\n((?:[ \t]+[^\n]+\n?)+))?", removing the overlapping space quantifiers before [:-]. Updated parse_structured_value to support both 2-tuple and 3-tuple matches for full backward compatibility.
