Subject: [PATCH] feat(timeline): derive header meta figures from the DTO
 (REQ-002)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A pure timelineMeta() returns the year range (first/last band, null when
there are no bands) and the letter/event totals across all year bands plus
the undated bucket — the single place these counts are computed.
