Read, validate, and correct metadata on an existing archive document. Ensure ID format matches the document's category directory.

Open the target document in /archive/<category>/slug.md.
Parse metadata fields in fixed order as bold inline fields: **ID:**, **Title:**, **Author:**, **Date:**, **Tags:**.
Validate ID format:
- Must be 5 digits (XNNNN, e.g., 10001, 20001, 40001).
- ID prefix (first digit) must match the document's category:
  - 1xxxx → must be in /archive/design
  - 2xxxx → must be in /archive/projects
  - 3xxxx → must be in /archive/academic
  - 4xxxx → must be in /archive/technical
  - 5xxxx → must be in /archive/personal-interests
Report any missing or malformed fields:
- Missing metadata fields
- ID format violations (not 5 digits or prefix mismatch)
- Invalid date format (should be YYYY-MM-DD)
Offer corrections if needed — only modify these metadata lines, never the document body.

Never modify the document body when fixing metadata.
Metadata lines must appear in fixed order at the top of the file, using bold inline labels (not YAML frontmatter).
ID corrections should reassign based on category if the prefix doesn't match the current directory.
