Numbered section labels
=======================

Rule · bucket: hybrid · severity: warning · detector: numbered-section-labels · since: v0.17.0
Section: Things to avoid
Group: Generic-AI aesthetic

Forbidden:
  "01", "02", "03" in small type beside section headings that are not a sequence

Instead:
  Number only a real order: steps to follow, a ranking, a procedure. Anything else keeps its heading and no number.

A number promises an order. A reader told there are three steps looks for what comes after the third, and a page that numbers its sections only because they are sections has promised something it does not deliver.
