Start by reproducing the tagged PDF conversion described in the issue and inspect the PDF-to-Markdown conversion path. Compare the source heading levels with the generated Markdown headings; done means different input heading levels remain distinct in the output. No file or test is named, so locating the relevant converter and adding focused coverage will require repository exploration.
