The markdown linter workflow exists but isn't catching violations like MD001 (heading increment). Three files had
<!-- markdownlint-disable -->at the top, globally disabling all rules.Changes
<!-- markdownlint-disable -->from README.md, src/devices/README.md, and src/devices/Device-Index.md.markdownlint.jsonconfig to suppress pre-existing violations in those specific rulesThe linter now catches violations while allowing intentional formatting choices (badges before H1, table styles, etc).
