Description

> This shouldn't need escaping.

The GitHub format linter escapes them to prevent interpretation as duplicate links that don't have a defined target URL. To prevent the escaping in content files, I had to remove the linter altogether - couldn't configure the behavior.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the GitHub format linter configuration and the rule that escapes square brackets in content files; determine whether that rule supports an exception or option. Done means the linter remains enabled, valid literal [] content is not escaped, and linting still passes.
