docs: restart reference numbering per section - #153
Merged
Conversation
The reference list was left half-migrated. It originally ran as one continuous sequence split under headings, so Rendering & Performance started at 10 and Standards at 14. A later edit renumbered Agent Protocols to restart at 1 without updating the two sections after it, leaving three different numbering schemes in one list: 1-19, 1-5, then 10-13 and 14-18 continuing a sequence that no longer exists. Restarts Rendering & Performance (1-4) and Standards (1-5) to match Agent Protocols. No cross-references break: the body cites references by name and arXiv ID, never by number, so these markers are purely ordinal.

Problem
The whitepaper's reference list was left half-migrated across three different numbering schemes:
The list originally ran as one continuous sequence split under headings, which is why Rendering & Performance began at 10 and Standards at 14. A later edit renumbered Agent Protocols to restart at 1 but did not update the two sections after it, so those two now continue a sequence that no longer exists.
This predates the 7/21 and 7/28 research scans (#143, #146).
Fix
Restart Rendering & Performance (1-4) and Standards (1-5) so every section is numbered independently, matching what Agent Protocols already does.
Why renumbering is safe
The body cites references by name and arXiv ID, never by number —
grep -cE '\[[0-9]{1,2}\]' docs/whitepaper.mdreturns 0, and there are no "see reference N" constructions. The markers are purely ordinal, so nothing cross-references them.The README needs no equivalent change; its reference section uses bullets, not numbers.
