sometimes the same task generates two google events which collide in the front matter and makes the file unreadable

Thanks @christenbc. I reproduced the corrupted frontmatter shape: duplicate googleCalendarEventId keys make Obsidian's YAML parser reject the task, and processFrontMatter cannot repair that file while the duplicate keys are present.

I patched the Google Calendar metadata write path so event ID writes are serialized per task, and if Obsidian rejects an existing duplicate-key block, TaskNotes rewrites just the Google Calendar metadata fields to collapse the duplicates before saving the current event ID.
