docs: update heading levels

[Planeshifter]

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request promotes three README API signature headings from level 3 to level 4, so that the primary signature heading inside <section class="usage"> sits at level 4 as it does in 6194 of 6200 (99.90%) stdlib package READMEs carrying an API heading in their usage section, and in 12 of 14 (86%) packages in _tools/remark/plugins.

The corrected condition is specific: a primary signature heading at level 3 with no level-4 heading above it. Level-3 headings remain correct elsewhere in stdlib as sub-grouping headings (### Properties, ### Methods) nested beneath a level-4 API heading — 199 READMEs use them that way, and this change is not a licence to demote those.

@stdlib/_tools/remark/plugins/remark-lint-expected-html-sections

Demotes the plugin() and plugin.factory( [options] ) API signature headings in the <section class="usage"> block from level 3 to level 4 (lines 41 and 57). remark-lint-eslint exposes an identical plugin() and plugin.factory( [options] ) API — same main.js + factory.js + setReadOnly shape — and already documents both at level 4, so the deviation does not track a difference in API shape. Documentation-only; no behavior, signature, or test expectation changes.

@stdlib/_tools/remark/plugins/remark-lint-html-section-structure

Updates the sectionStructure() API signature heading in the <section class="usage"> block from level 3 to level 4 (line 45). Sibling single-function plugins document their exported function the same way: remark-lint-equations uses #### lint() and remark-namespace-toc uses #### insertTOC(). The usage section has no sub-headings, so nothing nests beneath the changed heading. Documentation-only; no behavior, signature, or test expectation changes.

Questions

Any questions for reviewers of this pull request?

Two, both about scope rather than the change itself:

1. Two open pull requests, feat: add _tools/remark/plugins/remark-img-figures #13895 and feat: add _tools/remark/plugins/remark-img-figures-src-urls #13907, add new packages to this namespace. Neither modifies an existing member, so neither collides with this change — but the drift routine's collision gate is written to trip on any open PR naming the same namespace. This run treated the gate as being about file-level collision and proceeded. Flagging it in case you would rather such runs stand down whenever the namespace is otherwise active.
2. Four array/base packages (without, take-map, to-inserted-at, with) carry level-3 signature headings for their .assign variants and are the only remaining instances of this pattern repo-wide. They are outside this run's namespace and so outside this PR. Happy to follow up with a separate array/base PR if you want them swept.

Other

Any other information relevant to this pull request?

Scope. Three lines across two files; hash count only. Bracket escaping was left verbatim (\[options] matches remark-lint-eslint; the namespace is split 1–1 on \[options] vs \[options\], so there is no majority to normalize toward). The <!-- /.usge --> string at remark-lint-html-section-structure/README.md:82 is untouched — it is a deliberate lint-violation demo inside a fenced example.

Lint safety. remark-lint-heading-increment is set to 'off' in etc/remark/plugins/lint/index.js:297-300, so the resulting ## → #### jump cannot be flagged; this is why 6202 packages already do it. first-heading-level, heading-style, maximum-heading-length and no-duplicate-headings-in-section were each checked against the new state and none is violated. This was verified by reading the remark configuration rather than by executing remark, which is not installed in the working environment.

Deliberately excluded.

• Adding a <section class="related"> block to both packages (12/14 = 86% majority). The section is generator-owned — it carries Do not manually edit this section, as it is automatically populated. — and this namespace's own linter schema (remark-lint-expected-html-sections/lib/defaults.json) lists related as optional, not required, so its absence violates nothing.
• Replacing the bare package-name H1 in both READMEs with a human-readable title (siblings use # ESLint, # Lint Equations; 86% majority). A conforming title has to be invented per package, so the fix is not mechanical and the majority pattern does not determine the replacement text. Real drift, left for a maintainer.
• Normalizing error construction to format: nothing to do. All 20 throw new sites across all 14 members already use @stdlib/string/format.
• Features without a clear majority, and therefore not treated as drift: entry-impl filename (lib/attacher.js 57% vs lib/main.js 43%), test/ directory presence (28%), ## Notes heading (43%), mdast and html keywords (64% each).

Correction to an intermediate figure. An earlier pass of this analysis reported 99.95% conformance with only three exceptions repo-wide. That undercounted: the scan classified a README as conforming whenever any #### was present, which hid four mixed-level array/base files. The 99.90% / six-exception figures above come from a corrected scan that distinguishes signature headings from grouping headings.

Disclosure

This pull request was authored by Claude Code on behalf of @Planeshifter as an automated cross-package API-drift detection run against the @stdlib/_tools/remark/plugins namespace. Structural and semantic features were extracted from all 14 members, a per-feature majority pattern was computed at a 75% threshold, and candidate corrections were filtered through pre-validation gates and a three-agent validation pass (semantic review, cross-reference for test/consumer dependencies, structural review). Every correction that survived is documented above; everything dropped is listed with its reason. This PR is opened as a draft for a human to audit and promote.
