/**
 * Compile pipeline from string (markdown) format to JSON format synchronously
 *
 * Note: There are 3 similar functions:
 * - `compilePipeline` **(preferred)** - which properly compiles the promptbook and uses embedding for external knowledge
 * - `parsePipeline` - use only if you need to compile promptbook synchronously and it contains NO external knowledge
 * - `preparePipeline` - just one step in the compilation process
 *
 * Note: This function does not validate logic of the pipeline only the parsing
 * Note: This function acts as compilation process
 *
 * @param pipelineString {Promptbook} in string markdown format (.book.md)
 * @returns {Promptbook} compiled in JSON format (.bookc)
 * @throws {ParseError} if the promptbook string is not valid
 *
 * @public exported from `@promptbook/core`
