Add YAML lint step to CI pipeline #29

Description

Context

During ex10, the azure-pipelines.yml had silently concatenated lines (missing newlines) that caused "no pipelines found" in Azure DevOps — only caught because the UI was broken, not by any automated check.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A YAML lint step (e.g. yamllint or powershell -Command [yaml]::parse) runs on every PR
  • Step is placed before all build tasks so a malformed YAML file fails fast
  • Step is continueOnError: false (this one should be blocking)
  • Documented in CONTRIBUTING.md

Relevant Code Paths

  • azure-pipelines.yml — the file that broke
  • .github/pull_request_template.md — add a reminder to validate YAML before push
