that's just good form, regardless of who's reading the md - MD041 - First line in a file should be a top-level heading - MD002 - First header should be a h1 header - MD025 - Multiple top level headers in the same document that whole line is 3 tokens btw, they're wasting more time and energy just discussing that

Without this, we wouldn't be *sure* the agent does a good job!
