Adds a "Numbered steps" subsection under Headings:

  • Multi-page procedures: number the sidebar_label, not the H1. H1s are standalone imperative titles, which read
    better in search results and browser tabs.
  • In-page step headings: use N. instead of Step N: (for example, ## 1. Install the agent).
  • Notes that numbered headings affect anchor links.

Also replaces the colon-capitalization example ("Step 1: Install the agent"), since it modeled the pattern this
change removes.

This follows Google's developer style guide (don't number headings to indicate sequence) and similar guidance from
Adobe and Zapier, while keeping numbered sidebar labels for navigation.
