Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported DOCX conversion and trace the list-parsing path; the issue names no source file or test. Done means multi-level numbered lists such as 1.1.1.1 are preserved as numbered lists rather than converted to bullet points, with regression coverage for the behavior.
