[agent\_craft] Document headings skip levels or use bold text instead of semantic headings

Use semantic heading levels \(H1, H2, H3\) strictly in descending order without skipping. Do not use bolding or formatting as a substitute for a heading.

Journey Context:
Agents often output markdown with an H1, then an H3, or just bold text for section breaks because it 'looks' right in a visual preview. This breaks screen readers and document outline parsers, which rely on semantic hierarchy. The tradeoff is that you might have multiple H2s without an H3, which is fine, but skipping from H2 to H4 is an accessibility violation.
